Frida begins just before the traumatic accident Frida Kahlo (Salma Hayek) suffered at the age of 18 when a trolley bus collided with a motor bus she was riding. She is impaled by a metal pole and the injuries she sustained plague her for the rest of her life. To help her through convalescence, her father brings her a canvas upon which to start painting. Throughout the film, a scene starts as a painting, then slowly dissolves into a live-action scene with actors.

Before Night Falls is based on the autobiography of the same name by Cuban poet and novelist Reinaldo Arenas. In the film, Arenas, who was openly gay, is born in Oriente in 1943 and raised by his single mother and her parents, who soon move the entire family to Holguín. After moving to Havana in the sixties to continue his studies, Reinaldo begins to explore his ambitions, as well as his sexuality. After receiving an honorary mention in a writing contest, Arenas is offered the chance to publish his first work. Through his work and friendships with other openly gay men (such as Pepe Malas and Tomas Diego), Arenas manages to find himself.

Luz, sans travail et sans argent, abandonnée par son amant, est accusée d'avoir tué sa progéniture. Les preuves de sa culpabilité font pourtant défaut. Emprisonnée, elle tente de se rappeler les circonstances du drame. Le film s'inspire d'un cas authentique, que l'on a appelé au Mexique l'affaire de La Fiera del Ajusco (La Médée de l'Ajusco ) : une jeune mère, pauvre et ignorante, Elvira Luz Cruz, originaire d'un quartier proche du volcan Ajusco, au sud de Mexico, est arrêtée pour l'assassinat de ses quatre enfants, le 12 août 1982. En septembre 1984, au cours d'un procès entaché d'irrégularités, la jeune femme est alors condamnée à vingt-huit ans de prison par la Cour supérieure de justice de son district.
