...trawler. The dinghy, they found, was of a type not sold in New Zealand, though it is commonly used by the French navy. Oxygen tanks used by divers that were washed up on a nearby beach also bore French registration marks.

This is Ernesto Guevara de la Serna (Gael García Bernal) in his mid-20s, before he was Che. The film picks up Guevara’s life in 1951 as he embarks with his compatriot, Alberto Granado (Rodrigo de la Serna) on his travels—powered, initially, by the namesake motorcycle, of course—bound for the southern tip of South America...
