Sinopse
Priests. Revolutionaries. Grandpas. In 1965, six young Spanish priests arrive in Bolivia, right in the middle of Che Guevara's revolution. Faced with new realities, they witness Latin-American uprisings, rub shoulders with Che's guerrilleros, hide weapons and wounded men, preach a Liberation theology. Expelled from the country for their beliefs, they ended up splitting. Most renounced to their vows, some married, had children. Now in their 70s, as the elder shows worrying signs of Alzheimer and another battles cancer, they’ve decided to take back the journey that has changed their lives.
