My heart was a pend u l u m

It may not look l i ke it,

from Buenos Aires and Cordoba , respectively.

We are travel l i ng the length

Well , be's got one , too .

We're travel l i ng al l over doi ng some
research with the hope of cu ri ng

some of the most terrifyi ng d iseases
of tbe 20tb centu ry.

Plag ues tbat not on ly consu me ou r energ ies

but also keep Argenti na u nder total dependence .

As a matter of fact, if you read
the med ical l iteratu re , you 'l l note , as we have ...

What the fuck do you bu ms want?

Look, si r. The wi nd took ou r tent.
We're starvi ng and need a place to sleep .

There's a sbed out there with a good floor.
You can sleep with the m ig rants .

B ut we're doctors ...

l l ike you r face very m uch .

You rs , fatty, l don't l i ke .

- It's cool .
- lt's okay.

Dear M u m .

We're still going strong , thoug h
"The M ig hty One"" isn't so m ig hty any more .

Money and food are scarce but we've
managed to scrou nge some free food ,

than ks to ou r secret weapon ,

Al berto's im peccable bu l lsh itti ng .

...tryi ng to wi pe out some of the most
terrifyi ng d iseases of tbe 20th ...

- So you two are doctors?
- Well , no ...

Al berto is a biochem ist and l 'm i n med ical scbool .

H e practical ly has a deg ree .
We're as good as doctors .

Then l 'd l i ke you to look at th is lu m p on my neck.

- M ister. . .
- Von Puttkamer.

Does it h u rt?

It's a tu mou r.

What so you mean , a tu mou r?

Yes .

- You th in k so?
- Yeah .

- I don 't know, Fuser.
- I do.

It looks l i ke an ad i pose deposit,
it cou ld be a cyst.

N o . lt's a tu mou r.

It's a tu mou r i n tbe occi pital zone ,
probably of hydatid orig in .

Schatzie, these gentlemen say I have a tumour!

N o . . . Good day, ma'am .

Honestly, l don rt think it's a tumour,
itrs a sebaceous cyst.

If you'l l g ive us some food and a place
to crash , we may be able to treat you .

N o, look, we can't treat you .

Don't worry, you just need to go to Buenos Aires ,

l can recommend you to a specialist, but...

We cou ld try to hel p b i m .

H ow? With a cou ple of herbs
from tbei r garden? With prayers?

I see, there 's nothing you can do for me.

Yes , we can . lf you g ive us food
and a place to sleep ...

There's a lake fu l l of fish and a tool shed nearby.

Si r, it's a very prematu re d iag nosis .

Th is conversation is over, doctors .

Let's go , Schatzie .

Work with me next ti me , okay?

Su re , l 'l l work witb you
but not at the expense of a man's health .

Let's su ppose you were rig ht,
the geezer had a tu mou r,

how the fuck can you j ust tell h i m
l i ke that? U n bel ievable !

It's the truth .
lf he can't take it, that's b is problem .

You made h i m sh it h is pants ,
you can 't treat a patient l i ke tbat.

The g uy has a tu mou r,
the sooner he deals with it, the better.

It's the proper treatment,
or d id n't you learn that in pharmacy scbool?

Look, you id iot, don't tal k to me
about proper med ici ne .

You l ittle n u rse . Get you r deg ree , then we'll tal k.

Fucking know-it-al l .

Let's look for food .

D uck, d uck, d uck.
G ive me the g u n , man ! Come on !

- I got it, man!
- Very good!

- H ow d id you do that?
- N ow we're total ly fucked .

Well , there is no choice now
but to ju m p i n tbe lake and get ou r food .

Fuser, j u m p i n the water and get ou r food .

You're n uts if you th i n k l 'm getting in .
Do you have any idea bow cold it is?

Yeah. l know you 're allergic to the cold,
the water, the heat and all that...

but you know what? I'm older,
wiser, and I did all the shooting.

It was d u m b l uck! Besides , l have asth ma .

O kay, you're rig ht. lf you can't, l 'l l do it.

- I never said "can't."
-"Can't, " "won't" ...

- What's the difference ?
- I didn rt say, r'I can 't. r'

Or don't want to, same th i ng .

Otherwise , g ive me Ch ich i na's dol lars ,

and we'l l feast l i ke ki ngs .

Look, if l get that fucki ng d uck,
l 'l l eat it by myself.

Li ke a d uck to water, q uack, q uack, q uack!

I 'm freezi ng my bal ls off!

So what? You 're not usi ng them .

Come on .

Good , Fuser! Good ! Bri ng that d ucky with fries ...

H ey! You cold ?

I 'm not.

D uck?

No, l feel wonderful.

Fuser...

O kay...

Fuser, l isten to me .

G ive me Ch ich ina's fifteen dol lars
and we'l l go to a real hospital .

Ask again and l 'l l vom it on you .

Dear M u m , what do we leave beh i nd
when we cross a frontier?

Each moment seems spl it in two :

melancholy for what is left beh i nd ,
and the excitement of enteri ng a new land .

Look, M ial !

Ch i le .

Ch i le !

Long l ive Ch ile !

- Is it the fi rst ti me you've left the cou ntry?

You're practical ly a man .

Listen , wben we're old and ti red of travell ing ,

We'd treat everybody.

- Is tbat snow pil i ng u p?
- N ah , that's j ust a l ittle frost, man .

O ne , two , th ree ...

That's it!

I hope the chain doesn rt freeze up
because we rll be screwed...

Come on !

Come on ! Come on ! Come on !

There you go ...

Fuck, it's cold .

H ey, you said we'd enter Ch ile l i ke conq uerors ,

on foot, gen i us?

Yes . We'd see more , meet more people ...

you cou ld lose a few pou nds .

Come on, you queer, with a couple of
Chichina rs dollars, this is history.

Same old song ! Forget the money!

If that's you r answer,
you go to Venezuela on foot,

just leave me the hell alone
and take you r boss's money.

I could probably make it there in half
The time if you 'd mind your own business.

You motberfucker!

Ooh , E rnestito , bri ng me

Don't you realise you'l l never

What is it?

Than k you , Lucho .

An old custom i n Argentina doesn't

Fuser, you still haven 't asked about

That's wbat they cal l prog ress .

So we had to leave ou r son

looki ng for work,

tryi ng to escape from the pol ice
who want to th row us i n jail ,

Why?

Because we are com m u n ists .

N ow we're goi ng to a m i ne .

If we're lucky, l 'l l fi nd some work.

It's so dangerous , they don't

Are you two looki ng for work?

N o, we're not looki ng for work.

Then why are you travel l i ng?

We travel just to travel .

B less you ...

B lessed be you r travels .

- H ere .
- Than k you .

- H ave a mate .
- Than k you .

Thei r faces were trag ic and bau nti ng .

They told us of com rades who had
mysteriously d isappeared ,

and were said to be somewhere
at tbe bottom of the sea .

It was one of the coldest n ig hts of my life ,

but also one wh ich made me feel closer
to tb is strange , for me anyway, h u man race .

You !

You , too .

Trespassi ng . Tb is is property

Watcb the door.

You son-of-a-bitch !

As we left Cb ug u icamata
we cou ld feel the world cbang ing

or was it us?

The deeper we go i n the Andes ,
the more i nd igenous people we encou nter,

who are homeless i n tbei r own land .

We fi nal ly entered Peru ,

than ks to a balf-bl i nd trucker named Féel ix.

And g uess what? Alberto tu rned 30 ,
but not i n Venezuela as he had plan ned .

We were so ti red , M u m , we cou ld n't celebrate .

Fuser...

Th is is not h u man ly possi ble .

We fi nal ly arrived i n Cuzco ,
"the heart of America . ""

Ou r fi rst day i n the city we met Don Neéstor,

an old sou l , M u m , and ou r official g u ide .

Sir, I wonder, which of these walls is lncan ?

Th is one here is l ncan and tbat one is Span ish .

As a joke we say th is wal l was made by the l nca ,

and that wall was made by tbe l n-capables .
That's wbat we cal l the S pan ish .

D u ri ng the l nca period , Cuzco was the capital .

When tbe Span ish came
they started to trash it al l ,

-and made Li ma the capital .
- Lima?

Yes .

Th is belongs to Jesus Ch rist l nc.

- Are they still i n business?
- Yes .

Are they stil l i n busi ness . . . ?

She says she never went to school

because she was always with the l ivestock,

and that's wby she doesn't speak S pan ish ,
on ly Quech ua .

When l was l ittle there was enoug h ,
at least l th i n k so ,

there was enoug h money to afford everyth i ng .

B ut now l th i n k there is l ittle money,
there is no work.

And th is is al l affecti ng us , more and more .

From the time l was l ittle
l 've worked with hand icrafts , and ,

that's why l 'm not doing too bad ,
not too good , j ust okay.

With both hands .

With both hands, Nestor.

Than k you .

H el lo .

Good afternoon .

I was working for a time...

on some land .

And the land lord . . . kicked me off the land .

I was doing my work and he threw me out.

H ow'd he tb row you out? D id he bri ng the pol ice?

Yes , he broug ht the pol ice .

Because be's ricb , he's got lots of money.

H e wants me to vacate h is land , to get out.

O nce it was al ready prod uctive .

Yes , it was prod uci ng wbeat,
corn , potato . . .al l that.

And he kept most of it.

So , l can't l ive i n the past.
l have to move on . . .work,

fi nd tbe money to bri ng u p my kids ...

- H ow many kids do you have?
- l 've got five .

H ave you got organ ised with otber farm workers ...

- Yes .
- l n order to fig ht back?

Yes . We are organ ised , we hel p
each other, work ou r land ,

we bel p each other. Very u n ified .

Ready for the photo , Fuser?

That's it, tbat's it...

Th is one's for posterity.

The l ncas knew about astronomy, med icine ,
mathematics among other tb i ngs ,

but the Span isb i nvaders had g u n powder.

What wou ld America look l i ke today
if th ings had been d ifferent?

Fuser, here's my idea :

l 'l l marry an l nca descendant.

We'l l start an i nd igenous party
u nder these cond itions :

we'd encou rage the people to vote ,

reactivate Tu pac Amaru's revol ution ,
the l ndo-American revol ution , Fuser.

H ow's that sou nd ?

A revol ution without g u ns?

It wou ld never work, M ial .

H ow is it possible to feel nostalg ia
for a world l never knew?

H ow can a civi l isation that bu i lt th is ...

be destroyed to bu i ld ...

th is . . . ?

- Th is isn't it.
- N o?

Wrong street ?

Mercaderes 52 .

Let's ask.

- Cal le Mercaderes?
- Mercaderes?

Straig ht ahead for two blocks ,
tu rn rig ht and go another six, seven blocks .

Th is bas got to be Mercaderes .

That one is , too .

- Is tb is M ercaderes?
- Yes .

- And that one?
- Yes .

We have to cou nt backwards .

- Fuser?
- Backwards is 2 , 4 , ...

What? Yeah ...

Can I help you ?

This is Mariateguirs book.
And you must also read Cesar Vallejo.

The best th ing about Li ma was D r H ugo Pesce ,

D i rector of Peru's leper treatment prog ram me

who Al berto contacted
before we started out jou rney.

H e gave us clothes , food , money and ideas .

Mariateg u i speaks of the revolutionary potential

of tbe natives and farm workers of Latin America .

H e says tbe problem of the l nd ian
is the problem of tbe land ,

and that tbe revol ution
shou ld not be an i m itation .

It shou ld be orig i nal and i nd igenous .

"There are too few of us to be d ivided , " he said ,

"Everyth i ng u n ites us ...

"noth ing separates us . "

Most of the patients are over here .

Pesce got us a cou ple of beds
in the G u ia Hospital ,

where patients sufferi ng from
the early stages of leprosy are treated .

The most critical cases are sent
to tbe San Pablo Leper Colony, in the Amazon .

Zoraida , th is is Al berto and Ernesto .

I think we know each other pretty well now...

Let me tell you someth i ng .

I look at you , Ernesto , and you , Al berto ...

and I see great idealism and many doubts.

That's wby l 'm g lad you're goi ng to San Pablo .

I think you will find something important there.

For each of you .

Than k you , Doctor.

If you'l l excuse me , l wi ll sbow you someth i ng .

Another su rprise? So many su rprises ...

- Wbat's he getti ng , sq u irt?
- A book.

- A book. . .
- You have q u ite an appetite , Lito .

Th is is the g reat love of my l ife ,
after my wife , of cou rse .

It's my novel .

"Latitudes of S ilence"

l hope you rll do me the honour of reading it.

- Of cou rse .
- Of cou rse , Doctor.

The honou r is ou rs .

You can g ive me you r opi n ion i n U cayal i .

- Of cou rse . M ay 1 7
- Of cou rse .

Who dares go first?

Both of us .

H e reads m uch faster tban me .
H e's really a fast reader.

Well , boys, that's the sh i p , "La Cenepa . "

You'l l be i n San Pablo i n 5 days .

Al l aboard !

Maestro ...

Than k you for you r hospital ity,
for the tickets , for the clothes .

Than k you for everyth i ng . lt's been an honou r.

Don't mention it.

Than k you . Than k you very m uch .

O ne more th ing , haven't
you forgotten someth i ng?

You haven't said anyth i ng about my novel .

- You 've read it?
- Of cou rse .

- And?
- What can I say?

I can say, without exaggeration, that no one...

can tel l a story l i ke you do .

It took me a lot of work.

E rnesto , you r opi n ion?

H e loved it.

If he loved it, l 'd l i ke to hear h i m tel l me .

Look, Doctor, l th in k you r book is a bit trite ,

there are too many cl iches , and l ...

Well , that's not so bad ...

N o . . .the writing is basical ly - bad .

Basical ly u n readable .

It's a worthy attem pt, Doctor, but l th i n k
you sbou ld stick to what you know best.

I 'm sorry, Maestro,
you asked my opin ion and tbat's it.

Dam n you , boy...

N obody's been th is honest with me .

You're the on ly one .

The on ly one .

Well , l won't keep you any longer.

So long , we're forever g ratefu l . Than k you .

Take care !

Fuck, yeah .

Than k you very m uch , M iss .

You know, a l ittle wh i le ago

A bufeo?

They're river dol pb i ns but we cal l them bufeos .

H ave you ever seen one?

N ever. l 've heard of them ,
but l 've never seen one .

I 'm goi ng to tel l you a secret.

The bufeo's sex organs
are l i ke that of a woman's ...

and the l nd ians use them to . . .
comfort themselves .

B ut there's a l ittle problem .

As soon as they're done ,
they bave to ki l l the an i mal ...

because they suffer contractions
that won't release them .

- Miss, if l may, can l ask you a question ?
- Shoot.

Shoot.

What bri ngs you to these in hospitable waters?

I work on the boat.

I come and go between Pucallpa and Leticia.

I 'm from Pucal l pa .

- Pucal l pan .
- Pucal l pian .

- Pucal l pian , got it.
- H ave you been there?

Yes , it's fu l l of beautifu l women ,
but you are tbe lovel iest.

- Than k you .
- You 're welcome .

And how do you pay for you r passage?

I give the captain part of my earnings.

And . . . how do you earn you r earn i ngs , M iss?

Let's just say. . . if we go to your cabin,
I can show you.

The name's Luz, i n case you want to
know who you're doi ng busi ness witb .

My l ittle Luz, for a n ig ht with you

B ut, honey, l 've ru n out of cash .

Well , my friend , i n that case
you'l l bave to excuse me .

You're not going to leave me l i ke th is , are you ?

- What?

H er name is Luz.

She told me a story of a fish
the l nd ians fuck and kissed me ,

I spent them.

N o, Fuser.

Don't bust my balls .

We crossed a desert togetber,
we starved , froze , had accidents ...

My needs come before Ch ich i na's bath i ng su it.

Altboug b leprosy is not contag ious

If it's not contag ious,
then it's just sym bol ic, rig bt?

Yes , l 'm just tel l i ng you

You know what, Doctor, you 'l l excuse us ,

H el lo .

Th is is the d in ing hal l .

The n u ns provide l u nch here on Su ndays .

Most of the patients were sent

or fi red from thei r jobs .

So tbey adapt the thei r new l ives,

farm i ng and raising an i mals .

- Doctor.
- Good day.

- H ow's S i lvia?
- S he doesn't want the su rgery.

Than k you .

Si lvia is a somewhat rebell ious patient.

Su rgery is the last chance to save her arm .

H el lo, S i lvia .

She's you ng .

May l go talk to her?

Can I sit?

Does you r arm h u rt?

What's wrong?

I was born with shitty lungs.

Pity.

It's not so bad .

Thanks to that, l got out of military service.

I didn 't have to clean anybody's boots.

Is that why you became a doctor,

because you 're sick?

Maybe ...

The fi rst word l learned was i njection .

I want to be usefu l , somehow.

You're wasti ng you r ti me .

Why?

Life is pain .

Yeah , it's pretty screwed u p .

You got to fig ht for every breath ,
and tell death to go to hel l .

Fuser...

B rescian i's goi ng to write me a letter
of recom mendation for a residency

in Caracas at the Cabo Blanco Hospital .

H ow's that sou nd ?

That's good , isn't it?

My dear friends , a moment, please .

I th in k it's tbe perfect time
to let E rnesto and Al berto know...

how g ratefu l we are to them .
N ot on ly for havi ng come bere ,

they bave shown towards San Pablo's
patients d u ri ng thei r tb ree weeks with us .

To show ou r appreciation ,
we bave a l ittle su rprise for you .

Tomorrow we're goi ng to g ive you a raft

Th is raft wi l l be named after ton ig bt's
newly i nvented dance :

the M am bo-Tango .

- N ice one !
- Than k you , Doctor!

Speech ! Speecb !

Well . . . it's my d uty to tban k you for th is toast

with someth i ng more than the usual conventions .

B ut, i n view of the shabby cond itions
in wb ich we travel ,

all we have to offer you are words .

E m ployi ng them , l 'd l i ke
to express my si ncere than ks ,

to tbe entire staff of tbe colony,
who , althoug h tbey barely know us ,

have shown their affection
by celebrati ng my bi rthday

as if it were an i ntimate celebration
of one of their own .

Tomorrow we leave for Peru ,

so these words are also ou r farewel l ,

in wb ich l 'd l i ke to say how g ratefu l
l am to the people of th is cou ntry

who have generously looked after us
agai n and agai n .

I 'd l ike to add someth i ng else ,
com pletely u n related to th is toast...

Don 't worry, l won rt dance.

Even thoug h we are too i nsig n ificant
to be spokesmen for such a noble cause ,

we bel ieve ,

and th is jou rney has on ly confi rmed th is bel ief,

that the d ivision of America i nto u nstable

and i ll usory nations , is a com plete fiction .

We are one sing le mestizo race
from M exico to tbe M agel lan Straits .

And so, i n an attem pt to free ou rselves
from narrow-m inded provi ncial ism ,

l propose a toast to Peru

and to a U n ited America .

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

Cheers !

B ravo !

Th is isn't a tale of heroic feats .

It's about two l ives ru n n i ng paral lel for a wh ile ,

with com mon aspi rations and sim i lar d reams .

Was ou r view too narrow, too biased , too hasty?

Were ou r conclusions too rig id?

Maybe .

Wandering arou nd ou r America

has cbanged me more than l thoug ht.

I am not me any more ,

at least l 'm not the same me l was .

It took eig ht years for E rnesto
and Al berto to meet agai n .

I n 1 g60 G ranado was i nvited
to l ive and work i n Cu ba .

The invitation came from h is old friend Fuser,
now "Comandante" E rnesto Che G uevara ,

one of the most prom i nent and i nspi ri ng
leaders of tbe Cu ban Revol ution .

Che went on to fig ht for h is ideals i n
the Congo and Bol ivia where he was captu red ,

and witb the su pport of the C lA,
m u rdered in October, 1 g67 .

Forever faithfu l to h is friend Fuser,

G ranado remai ned i n Cu ba where
he fou nded the Santiago School of Med ici ne .

H e l ives i n Havana with h is wife Del ia ,
their ch i ld ren and g randch ild ren .
