As Bolivia stages the 50th anniversary of Ernesto "Che" Guevara’s death, an old countryside teacher named Julia is invited to share her story about the time she gave a bowl of soup to the guerrilla in her classroom, while he recited to her a poem about flowers, just a few hours before his death. But the invitation is withdrawn after other women claim the story of “the soup and the flower” as their own.
