Synopsis:

Hugely acclaimed and Oscar-nominated, Amores Perros depicts lives that are inextricably entangled in the heart of a violent and turbulent Mexico City. Octavio is an aimless young loser with an obsessive crush on his sister-in-law, Susana, who's married to an abusive hoodlum. Daniel, a successful TV editor, has abandoned his wife and children to live in a dream apartment with Valeria, a shallow and neurotic model. Meanwhile El Chivo, a bitter ex-con turned assassin, haunts the life of a pretty young girl with whom he has a secret relationship, and receives a contract to kill a rich, philandering businessman.
