Abstract
Mexico, the 1920s. The revolution is over and the country is rebuilding itself bit by bit, with two painters helping this revival through art. Diego Rivera, an established artist known for his murals, meets Frida Kahlo, a rising star in the art world and it is love at first sight. Their relationship is one of the greatest but most turbulent love affairs in art history. They painted each other, worked together and inspired each other for 25 years, and are probably the most legendary artistic couple of all time.
