As part of the exhibition Frida Kahlo: wings to fly, Fundación Casa de México will screen tomorrow Saturday at 7pm the film El elegido (The Chosen One), directed in 2016 by Antonio Chavarrías and starring Alfonso Herrera, Hannah Murray, Julian Sands and Elvira Mínguez, in their main roles.
In 1937 Spain, the young Republican officer Ramón Mercader is recruited by the Soviet secret service to take part in a conspiracy organised by Stalin to assassinate Leon Trotsky, whom he considers a traitor. When Mercader arrives in Paris under the false identity of Jacques Mornard, he meets Sylvia, a woman who works for Trotsky and whom he seduces in order to get close to the leader and thus successfully complete his mission.
