Alex may seem like a quiet, shy boy, but he secretly holds big ideas in his head. He wants to be a luchador (wrestler) and defeat bad guys in the ring. His life changes when he meets brave and colorful Frida, an unusual girl who dreams of being a doctor. Forced to collaborate on a science project on butterflies and metamorphosis, the pair discovers how true friendship can help overcome fear and transform dreams into reality. Inspired by the childhood of legendary Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, Frida Libre is an uplifting story featuring delightful songs that explore the meaning of friendship, bravery, and transformation.


Alex puede parecer un chico tranquilo y tímido, pero en secreto guarda grandes ideas en su cabeza. Quiere ser luchador y derrotar a los malos en el ring. Su vida cambia cuando conoce a la valiente y colorida Frida, una chica inusual que sueña con ser doctora para poder ayudar a la gente. Obligados a realizar juntos un proyecto científico sobre las mariposas y la metamorfosis, la pareja descubre cómo la verdadera amistad puede ayudarle a uno a superar el miedo y transformar sus sueños en realidad. Inspirada en la infancia de la legendaria pintora mexicana Frida Kahlo, Frida Libre es una historia inspiradora llena de actuación física (los actores se convierten en árboles, trenes y sumideros) con deliciosas canciones que exploran el significado de la amistad, la valentía y la transformación.
