Description

1910, Mexico. As the revolution spreads, Dolores must flee or risk death. Her family settles in Mexico City, where she marries Jaime del Rio. In a twist of fate, she meets an influential American director. He invites her to Hollywood, and practically overnight, the famous Miss del Rio is born. Dolores' star quickly rises, but when she's labeled box office poison amid growing prejudice before WWII, Dolores must decide what price she's willing to pay to achieve her dreams and if her heart and future instead lie where it all began, in Mexico.
