В октябре 1931 года знаменитый кинорежиссёр Сергей Эйзенштейн путешествует по Мексике, работая над фильмом «Да здравствует Мексика!» (Que viva México), финансируемым частным образом американскими сторонниками коммунистов. Эйзенштейн намерен провести несколько дней в Гуанахуато, где собирается заснять знаменитый Музей мумий.

From Moscow to Mexico City, Eisenstein was privileged enough to met the cultural heroes of the era and embrace them as compatriots, with a handshake. Such was his reputation as the wunderkind of the new art of cinema, everybody wanted to meet him; there were writers, painters, critics, theorists and philosophers, as well as composers, architects, and artists from all branches of the cultural life that was shaping minds and civilizations. Our project would follow Eisenstein's journey and note the significant characters he encountered on his travels, with a focus on Switzerland.
