We see, instead, the harsh realities of Mexico City projected on the screen in quick, sharp shots often accompanied by assertive contemporary Latin American rock and rap music. The three segments of the movie contain characters that belong to different social backgrounds. In the foremost part, we meet the working-class Octavio (played by Mexican actor Gael García Bernal, who famously portrayed the Argentinian Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara in the 2004 biopic The Motorcycle Diaries, a co-production between eight countries). Octavio, who is in love with the sweet and delicate Susana, wife of his ruffianly brother Ramiro, will resort to dog-fighting so that he can make money to elope and start a new life with his sister-in-law. Part two is the story of the supermodel Valeria, mistress of the magazine publisher Daniel, who, after breaking her leg in the accident shown at the beginning of the film, sits recuperating in a luxury apartment. Amores perros series#Ī series of unfortunate events involving her beloved dog Richie injure her leg further, making amputation inevitable – an incident that shatters her career prospects and turns her from an asset into a liability overnight. Finally, in part three, the viewer encounters the old man El Chivo (“The Goat”), a professional hitman living in the squalid outskirts of the town where he cares for several mongrel dogs.
