Synopsis

Leon Trotsky, revolutionary on the run, wanders through the world and eventually rises aboard a Norwegian tanker in Mexico. In Frida Kahlo's garden, he looks at Native American sculptures, tropical ferns, and cacti in red clay pots and breeds above the derailment of the Russian Revolution.

Meanwhile, the penniless writer Malcolm Lowry lands in the Bay of Acapulco. He wants to tell nothing less than the most beautiful love story in literature. To the rhythm of the rain crashing on the earth, he writes his masterpiece Under the Volcano.

Following the footsteps of those men and women who have become immortal, Patrick Deville crosses their paths and weaves their stories into a virtuoso mosaic.
