Ovaj film nam prikazuje Čeovu potragu za uvidom u ljudsku
„šminku“. Fotografijama polutajnih dokumenata u kabinetima
Bolivijske Akademije Istorije, Bauer i njegov posvećeni tim
otkrivaju fascinantne podatke o ovom heroju – to jeste, sve
dok Bolivijska vlada ne shvati da je počinila grdnu
birokratsku grešku, zatvarajući kabinete za javnost.
Međutim, uspješno su fotografisali tri izuzetno važna
dokumenta koja sadrže Čeova poetična ljubavna pisma
posvećena njegovoj ženi, njegova filozofska razmišljanja i
njegov lični katalog svjetske književnosti koje nikada nije
pustio iz ruku, čak ni tokom 16 mjeseci provedenih na
planinama Sierra Maestra na Kubi.
