After facing an episode of bullying due to her Jewish heritage, and being told she was "found in the trash" by her parents, a rebellious young Frida Kahlo is determined to prove that she is not a “nobody." But a tragic, near-fatal bus accident, her own insecurities, substance abuse, and a heartbreaking betrayal leave Frida in shambles. Shattered and alone, Frida is forced to look at her own self and depict her suffering on the canvas, becoming one of the most iconic female painters of all time.
