The twice-unique Elena Poniatowska brings the inner drama of an exceptional woman, which takes place against the background of the historical and cultural ferment of Mexico and Europe before and after the Second World War: María Guadalupe Marínová Preciadová known as Lupe Marínová (1895–1983).

A femme fatale, an instinctive woman who attracted the attention of bohemians in Mexico and Paris with her extraordinary appearance, elegant demeanor, and sharp tongue. She was courted not only by the Spaniard Ramón del Valle Inclán, but also by Vladimir Mayakovsky, Ilya Erenburg, André Breton and other artists. She was the muse of many poets and painters, for whom she became a model. Wife of painter Diego Rivera (1886–1957) and chemist, poet and literary critic, Jorge Cuesta (1903–1942).

An excellent cook, connoisseur and follower of Parisian fashion, who did not have it easy in a society focused on folklore, including dressing. Without formal education, but with a flair for art. An artist of life who influenced the direction of a number of world creators.
