Thus, it appears Leon Trosky - who has romance to Frida-, but he's murdered with a hatchet by Ramon Mercader and then is framed Diego Rivera, though later being absolved. The picture is correctly based on historic deeds and even Edward Norton did an uncredited rewrite of the script. The yarn relies heavily upon their tempestuous marriage, because the different artistic temperaments burst, creating a stormy relation. Later on, Frida is wedded to Diego and the troubles come out. She falls in love with famed muralist Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina, he gained 50 lbs, 23 kg, for this character) who bears a separated marriage (to Valeria Golino).

The movie deals with the biography of Frida Kalho (well performed by Salma Hayek, though Laura San Giacomo was originally set to play her but was dropped when fans objected to a non-Mexican playing the role) who after a terrible accident with a trolley causes herself a crippling injury, then she gets away from her parents (Roger Rees and Patricia Spinola) to live on the paintings.
