In 1931, freshly turned away by Hollywood and ordered to return to the USSR, the filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein went to Guanajuato, Mexico, to shoot his new film, Que Viva Mexico! Chaperoned by his guide Palomino Cañedo, he burns himself in contact with Eros and Thanatos. His creative genius is exacerbated and his intimacy greatly disturbed. Confronted with the desires and fears inherent in love, sex and death, Eisenstein lives in Guanajuato for ten passionate days that will turn the rest of his life upside down.
