The latest documentary by Tristan Bauer took 12 years to complete. It is a unique and invaluable historical document—a jewel not to be missed—that offers us a different, more intimate and personal, perspective on the life of Ernesto Che Guevara than other films about him that have emerged recently. Presenting brilliantly edited archival material, including private documents and intimate recordings that have never been made available to the public before (including recordings of Che reading poems by Vallejo and Neruda to his wife, intimate family gatherings on 8mm, a speech given by Che in French), Bauer allows us to see the iconic figure as a hero but also as the larger-than-life passionate and idealistic human being that he was.

Edgardo "Cacho" Pallero, as a person, will offer a glimpse into the era, the commitment of young people in the 1960s, their ideological and political stances; and, in Pallero's case, his filmmaking training, taking on the role of producer from his earliest days.
A journey through the life and work of artist Ricardo Carpani, his artistic and ideological formation, and the importance of his pictorial output, considered a symbol of the political struggle of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.

During this period, he continued his political commitment, creating works that denounce the horrors experienced in Argentina during those years.
