Descripción
How far are you willing to go to save Frida's work?
Mexico, 1935. When Frida discovers Diego is unfaithful with her sister Cristina, and experiencing a period of depression linked to her inability to have children, she uses the pain as inspiration to create The Wounded Table, an enigmatic large-format painting that years later would be part of the first exhibition of Mexican artists in the Soviet Union.
Moscow, 1947. Olga, a Russian bureaucrat with a quiet existence and committed to the Party, rediscovers her passion for art upon encountering the impactful work of the Mexican painter. However, her life takes a turn when she becomes embroiled in a dark plot to destroy the painting. How far will she be willing to go to save the artist's work?
Betrayals, wounds, thefts, forgeries, and art trafficking are intertwined in this thrilling historical thriller, inspired by real events, which leads us to discover one of the greatest mysteries in Mexican plastic arts: the disappearance of a unique piece that has been lost for over half a century.
