After a test run, the film sequence was finished after the second shoot.
#AMORES PERROS WIKI DRIVER#
A stunt driver was in the black car, a Mercury Grand Marquis from 1984, which is driven by Octavio in the film, while a remote-controlled crash dummy was sitting in the car of the photo model Valeria.
After studying his latest murder of a businessman in the newspaper, he sees his wife's obituary notice. Old El Chivo lives with a group of dogs in Mexico City and works as an occasional hit man. She loses her model contract and, after a complication, her right leg. When Daniel actually leaves his family and moves in with them, Valeria suffers a serious car accident.
#AMORES PERROS WIKI TV#
Although she claims on a TV show that she is in a relationship with the handsome actor Andrés Salgado, in reality Valeria is having an affair with the married publisher Daniel. She is a top model and smiles from huge billboards in downtown Mexico City after a profitable perfume campaign. Octavio stabs the impostor and causes a car accident while fleeing from his cronies. In one last dog fight, Octavio is betrayed by his opponent. Instead, Ramiro and Susana make off with Octavio's money. Octavio and Susana start an affair and dream of a better future, which he wants to finance with the money won from the dog competitions. While Ramiro, who is prone to violence, occasionally raids pharmacies to support his small family, Octavio takes part in brutal dog competitions with their dog Khofi.
The first episode is about the young and naive Octavio, who lives together with his brother Ramiro, his wife Susana and child and his mother in a small house in the poor parts of the city. In his highly acclaimed debut film, Mexican director Alejandro González Iñárritu tells three episodes about love, hate, dreams and death in the metropolis of Mexico City, which fatefully overlap due to a serious car accident.
