The documentary by Lourdes Portillo begins when Portillo receives the news of her uncle Oscar's death, which is first ruled a heart attack and then suicide. Portillo travels to her hometown of Chihuahua, Mexico, to uncover the truth about her uncle's death. Through interviews with Oscar's friends and family, he unveils previously unknown details about his uncle and offers a personal and complex picture of his uncle's life and death.

Between 1963 and 1966 Andy Warhol worked at making film portraits of all sorts of characters linked to New York art circles. Famous people and anonymous people were filmed by Andy Warhol’s 16 mm camera, for almost four minutes, without any instructions other than ‘to get in front of the camera’.
