Note of intent
Today, Cuba is experiencing a real tourist boom. La Poderosa Tours has been made possible by the reforms introduced by Raùl Castro, whose presidency is due to end in 2018. Born in the USSR, I lived through the collapse of communism and the tearing caused by the change of regime. Through this film, I wish to show the evolution of Cuban politics which allows the stealthy arrival of unfettered capitalism in the “Island of Freedom” where the revolutionary past becomes, gradually, a merchandise.
Synopsis
Three years ago in Havana, Che Guevara’s youngest son, with the backing of foreign investors, opened a private tourist agency La Poderosa (The Powerful), named after Che’s favourite motorbike on which he had been touring all over South America. Ernesto Guevara, a lawyer by training, offers to bring back to life his father’s passion for steel horses. He proposes a motorised tour of the places where El Comandante Che fought, but with all the comfort of a Harley Davidson.
For $5,000 a week.
His business is so prosperous that he recently began offering individual customised tours.
Visual concept
This road movie traces a one-week trip in Che’s footsteps, from one place to another of his revolutionary past, guided by his son Ernesto. I want to introduce in the bikers group a Frenchman with revolutionary convictions who will sometimes ask impertinent questions. I intend to use archive documents to confront Che’s Cuba (1959-1966) with today’s Cuba, the one of his son.
