- Synopsis
- GUNMAN is a gripping narrative set in Isla Maciel, a Buenos Aires neighborhood beset by the turmoil of drug trafficking. The story centers around "El Galgo" (the greyhound) a once-feared hitman for "La Madrina," who emerges from prison only to find himself navigating a treacherous world filled with danger and betrayal.
  
  When La Madrina's gang approaches him for what seems to be a straightforward job—intimidating a business that owes them money—El Galgo quickly realizes that nothing in this corrupt landscape is simple.
  
  What begins as a minor task spirals into a chaotic series of violent confrontations, forcing him to confront not only external threats but also his own inner demons.
  
  Inspired by true events, the film is presented in real time, through a single continuous take, immersing the audience in the raw atmosphere of the real Isla Maciel.
  As El Galgo races against time and fate, viewers are taken on a relentless journey through the heart of desperation and the fight for redemption, in a world where survival often comes at a steep price.
  
  This unique storytelling approach highlights the stark realities of life in Isla Maciel, making GUNMAN a powerful exploration of choices, consequences, and the quest for a way out.
