Ernesto Guevara (Gael Garcia Bernal), affectionally nicknamed “Fuser” by his best friend Alberto Granado (Rodrigo de la Serna) is about to join set off with him on an epic journey across South America on a rickety old Norton 500 motorcycle that has certainly seen better days. Their plan is to cover the over ten thousand kilometre distance between Buenos Aires and the northern tip of the continent, via Patagonia, before Granado reaches his thirtieth birthday. Their first stop is at the chateau-style home of his girlfriend Chichina (Mia Maestro) but thereafter it is just them, their machine, and the elements as they embark on quite an eye-opening road trip. “Che” Guevara is in the latter stages of training to be a doctor, specialising in leprosy, and along the way they stop off at a leprosarium where he becomes even further convinced of what he believed before his travels began: that this resource-rich but poverty-stricken continent could not function effectively unless it were to be united into one single political entity devoid of man-made division and self-interest. His companion is less philosophical in his outlook, looking mainly to enjoy his trip and get laid whenever and where
