Synopsis
Film is an attempt to use the thousands of feet of footage shot by Eisenstein and Eduard Tisse for the unfinished film "Que Viva Mexico". Eisenstein had begun by trying to make a film about the myths, art, religion, social struggle and history of the Mexican people. However, the project became too personal and his financiers backed out. This is not an attempt to recreate what Eisenstein planned, but rather a mediation on unfinished films, and on the conflicts and mysteries of Mexico.
