Dos Fridas

Maria de Medeiros plays Judith Ferreto, Frida Kahlo’s personal nurse during Frida’s final years, in this surreal biopic where past and present, memory and the imagination meld in one continuous reverie. Frida’s and Judith’s paths crossed at a hospital in Mexico City in 1949 and even though they were complete opposites both women developed a symbiotic and complex relationship to the point where Judith’s life began to mirror Frida’s in every aspect.
