Diálogo con el Che muestra en dos pantallas a un combativo Che Guevara, interpretado por Rolando Peña, hablando del futuro y qué es Latinoamérica. Rodada al poco de conocerse la muerte del Che, es un ejercicio de invocación animado por las técnicas del actor distante de Bertolt Brecht y el cine político de Glauber Rocha, Fernando Pino Solanas y Jean-Luc Godard.
