Di buen día a papá

On October 9th, 1967, the revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara was killed by Bolivian soldiers. "Dí Buen Día a Papá" is both the code phrase used to order Che`s execution and the Spanish title of this fascinating film. It depicts the lives of three women from Che`s death to the exhumation of his remains in 1997. Fernando Vargas` "Say Good Morning To Dad" consists of four short films that taken together illustrate what life is like in an unusual small town that protects a religious secret. An angel once visited the people of the town, and they have kept physical proof of the visit ever since. An engaging multi-generational tale set in the Bolvian village of Vallegrande, know as the town in which Ernesto `Che` Guevara was killed in 1967. Di Buen Dia A Papa, the code used by the Bolivian government to dictate Guevara`s execution, follows the fears and desires of three women from the village shaped by this dubious distinction. The now-lengendary photo of Guevara`s powerful death face, with eyes opened, remind many of a Christ-like figure, leading the town to christen him `El Santo Che`. Those involved in Che`s murder have met with mysterious deaths, creating the myth of the `Curse of Che`. The residents of Vallegrande must live with these painful memories but carry with them a deep concern for a better, more prosperous future.
