Greenway hits where it hurts, directly at our spiritual values. According to his version, Eisenstein met a man in Mexico, who stripped him of his innocence and became the love of his life - guide and translator Palomino Cañedo (handsome Luis Alberti). According to, though not entirely confirmed and neither disclaimed! - the Soviet filmmaker, played by the young actor Elmer Bäck, is similar to a tragic clown, ashamed of his unspoken sexuality and embarrassed by his own body. Mexico liberated him by teaching that physical love and death are inseparable; in other words, Eros and Tanatos, that as according to Greenaway, have always limited human existence.
