Two young men in a tavern excitedly studying the map, and they planned a life trip through all of South America, 8,000 kilometers, which would take four months, and the means of transportation was a dilapidated motorcycle. One is Syrah, a 30-year-old chemist, and the other is Walter, a 23-year-old leprosy doctor.
After they said goodbye to their families, the two men set out on their motorcycles on smoke-billowing motorcycles. While he was running wild on a dirt road in the countryside, the car rushed into a ditch by the side of the road, and Walter hurried to his puppy, which was a gift he had given to his girlfriend.
The motorcycle was parked in front of a large villa, which was Walter's girlfriend's house. But the girlfriend's parents didn't like Walter, and the girlfriend's aunt kept an eye on their behavior. Originally prepared to stay for two days, on the sixth day, Walter left the dog, and Sierra and Walter left the villa.
Cycled 1800 kilometers to Eagle Cliffs in Argentina. In a mountain road motorcycle drift, two people fell, Walter's calf was injured, two people can only camp here, here the mountain wind is too strong, when setting up the tent, the tent first they left here, drifted into the distance. They found a nearby village, and Walter told the truth, they blew away their tents, they were leprosy doctors, gained the trust of a villager, and got a night in a cowshed.
Came to Chile, where the altitude is very high, they have traveled 2700 kilometers. Motorcycles are no longer able to drive in this area, and most of the time the motorcycles are driven forward with their power. One day Walter walked into a newspaper in Chile and fabricated their story. Two Argentine youths traveled 3,000 kilometers to treat more than 3,000 lepers along the way.
At a repair shop, they took out this newspaper and the owner repaired their motorcycle for free. The repair shop owner also invited them to the evening dance, and because of the effect of alcohol, Walter and the boss's wife frowned, and after being discovered, a group of people frantically chased them. They ran wild on motorcycles, and this time the motorcycle hit the cows, and they escaped again. After riding more than 2,900 kilometers, the motorcycle also took their first step.
Now, they can only be a combination of walking and hitchhiking. After traveling 3,500 kilometers, they reach Valparaíso, Chile, where they can be repaired, and Walter receives a letter from his girlfriend, who is already someone else's girlfriend. Walter was provoked to head out into the desert, where he found many Indians homeless, forced to work in the mines, and even without the right to drink water.
When they arrived in Cusco, Peru, they had traveled more than 6,900 kilometers, and it was difficult to deceive them to eat and drink, and they could only steal corn and eat it along the way. They saw the magnificence of the Inca ruins and the ruins of Machu Picchu, and they carefully recorded how they felt at that time.
One day in Lima while stealing milk to drink, he was discovered by a Medical Doctor in Peru. The Doctor, who was in charge of the peruvian leprosy eradication, was an idealist, and the three of them had a good conversation, and the Doctor gave the two of them a taste of the novel he had just written. The two of them stayed on the Doctor's side for more than ten days, and the Doctor bought them a ferry ticket and asked them how the novel was written. Walter said, "Plain, you better do what you're good at." The doctor said, "It will be indefinite!"
After getting on the boat, they came to a leprosy village where they volunteered, and according to the regulations, they went to the village for treatment during the day and returned to rest on the other side of the river at night. One night, Walter's birthday, the nuns and doctors celebrated walter, walt was so excited, he came to the river, jumped into the Amazon River, swam to the other side, and hugged the leper.
Travel more than 12,400 kilometers, in Venezuelan Water and Sierra respectively. Later Serra founded a university. Walter joined the Cuban Revolutionary Army, later Che Guevara, was betrayed by deserters, killed by Bolivian government forces, and later Che Guevara became a hero to many people, and his portrait was printed on clothes and backpacks by human doors, becoming their faith.
