In 1964, Jean Ziegler was asked by Che Guevara to fight the "capitalist Monster". Former collaborator of Kofi Annan, professor and writer, Ziegler's books still act as a manifesto to left-wing intelligentsia.

The visit becomes a dialogue between reality and symbolism, confronting his thinking with today's Cuban destiny.
