In 1931, at the height of his artistic powers, celebrated Soviet filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein travels to Mexico to shoot a new film, privately funded by American pro-Communist sympathizers, called ¡Que viva México! Rejected by Hollywood and under pressure to return to Stalinist Russia, Eisenstein reaches Guanajuato, where he spends ten passionate days that will go on to shape the rest of his career.
