WALTER Salles' highly acclaimed road movie charts the true story of how the young Che Guevara (Gael Garcia Bernal) and his medical school pal Alberto (Rodrigo De La Serna) embarked on an epic journey from Buenos Aires to Caracas that would change the course of history.

Based on the 23-year-old, pre-revolutionary Che's own journals, the story recounts his growing awareness of the deprivation, injustice and exploitation of the poor that begin to shape his political ideas.

What starts as a simple road trip in which two young men chase fun, girls and adventure becomes a rites of passage tale as the two men discover their destinies en route.
