She was a prolific self-portraitist, using the canvas as a mirror throughout her tumultuous and at times fatal existence. This film takes us through the life of one of the most prominent female icons: Frida Kahlo. This personal and intimate film allows rare access to her works and shows the source of her frenetic creativity, her tenacity, and her unrivaled desire for life, men, women, politics, and her cultural heritage by displaying a treasure trove of color and a feast of vibrancy on screen.
