Bartolí survived the Spanish Civil War only to be interned in a French concentration camp for several years until he escaped and eventually made it over to Mexico. In Mexico he became the lover of Frida Kahlo, after which he moved to New York and frequented painters like Rothko and De Kooning. The film, which marks the feature debut of cartoonist and journalist Aurel (Aurélien Froment), provides glimpses into the pain and plight suffered by the Spanish people.
