Fidel Castro has outlived generations of US presidents, Soviet General Secretaries, CIA directors, and would-be assassins. The Cuban revolutionary was in power for decades, longer than any other chief of state or government. He is a living legend, admired and hated. Yet, the man behind the mask of the revolutionary leader is largely unknown. Who is Fidel Castro really? How can one explain his force of will? What is he proud of? How are his rigidity and ruthlessness expressed? For decades, Castro has sealed his private life off. This documentary details a psychological profile of the Cuban revolutionary. With attention to every detail, it depicts how he experienced numerous historical events. Among the interviewees contributing to the documentary are Castro’s great love Natalia Revuelta, their daughter Alina, Castro’s former fellow soldier Huber Matos, Mikhail Gorbachev, former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, former German Ambassador to Cuba Bernd Wulffen, a friend of Che Guevara Jean Ziegler, writer Norberto Fuentas as well as Che Guevara’s daughter Aleida. For many, Castro is the symbol of political independence and endurance. Others only recognize ideological torpor in him. In any case, critics have never particularly affected Castro.
