Gael Garcí­a Bernal stars in the savagely brilliant debut feature from double-Oscar-winning director Alejandro González Inárritu (Birdman, The Revenant). Intertwining three intense storylines on the theme of animalistic desires, it follows the respective fates of a young man caught up in the world of dogfighting, a supermodel whose career is wrecked by a car accident, and a homeless hit-man who tries to connect to his estranged daughter.
