In Argentina, a country that has been broken down and corrupted by poverty, Pablo and Mario are best friends and fun-loving thieves in the Buenos Aires neighbourhood of Palermo. Although they come from very different backgrounds, the two commit petty crimes that help Pablo support his family and Mario become financially independent from his own. In a twist of fate, and because of their own ignorance, they become involved in an express-kidnapping that will change their lives forever. This tragedy, Shakespearean in scope and Scorsesian in execution, triggers and unmasks a series of dramatic events, among them a passionate affair between Mario and Pablo sister Julieta. Unable to escape their past, and faced with an uncertain future, the love and hate these two friends share is exposed, while their loyalty and integrity are tested, and their lives taken to the limit.
Eduardo Pinto was born in Buenos Aires and started working in films as a teenager, with jobs ranging from production assistant to grip and finally cinematographer on four feature films, winning the best cinematography award at the Latin Film Festival in Trieste, Italy. In the late 1980s, he studied at Argentina’s Institute of Cinema (INCAA) to become more involved in the industry. He has directed more than 40 music videos for internationally acclaimed artists from EMI and Sony music. Palermo Hollywood is his first feature film.
