The story of three people whose lives and fate come together in a car crash. Academic Paul suffers from a fatal heart disease and is waiting for a transplant; Christina, a former drug addict, now leads a calm life with husband and children; Jack, a hot tempered ex-con, seeks redemption in religion.

An impressive follow-up to Amores perros, Iñárritu teamed up with Guillermo Arriaga once again for his English-language debut, complicating the former’s triptych structure in an entwined multi-plot drama. Both Naomi Watts & Benicio del Toro received Oscar® nominations for their riveting performances.
