The story is set during the Great Depression, specifically around the time of the 1933 Long Beach earthquake. Camilla (Salma Hayek) is a fiery, beautiful Mexican café waitress who aspires one day to be above her current standing in society, to make something of herself, to give her and her future children a place and chance in the world.

Later, Camilla is infected by tuberculosis and leaves Arturo without informing him.

Un documentaire sur l'univers mystérieux d'un des génies du septième art avec en voix off Tom Cruise. Inspiré des archives de la famille Kubrick, ce long métrage dresse le portrait intimiste d'une figure de légende à travers des images fascinantes (Stanley Kubrick à ses débuts, sur les plateaux de tournage et dans la vie privée) et commentées par ses collaborateurs, collègues et amis. Depuis ses choix musicaux jusqu'à ses angles de caméra en passant par ses projets restés inachevés, il s'agit d'un document essentiel à la compréhension de l'homme et de ses oeuvres.
