After she regains the ability to walk using a cane, Frida visits muralist Diego Rivera and demands he assess her paintings. Rivera falls in love with Kahlo's work, and the two begin a dysfunctional relationship. When Rivera proposes to Kahlo, she tells him she expects from him loyalty if not fidelity. Throughout the marriage, Rivera has affairs with a wide array of women, while the bisexual Kahlo takes on male and female lovers, including in one case an affair with the same woman as Rivera.
