Little Frida is the sunlight of her small Mexican village, where she spends her days carousing through the market, befriending a neighborhood street dog, and playing class clown. When a polio diagnosis casts a cloud over her spirit, she is forced into the solitude of her bedroom. But it’s there that she finds solace in her imagination, a world brimming with color, flowers, and possibilities. When she is finally well enough to reenter the world, it’s this inner spirit that guides her through the hardships in her life. "Hola Frida" recreates the early life of Frida Kahlo with the brightness and whimsy of her famous oeuvre alongside some unexpected plot points (like an athletic training montage!) to paint a portrait of the artist’s childhood.
