Isla Maciel in the docks of Buenos Aires is a breeding ground of violence, ravaged by corruption and ruled by the terror of street gangs. Small-time crook Pablo, just released from prison, only wants to survive but that is easier said than done. Blinded by the prospect of quick money, he takes a job that aims to hasten the demise of an unwelcome rival, but he falls into a trap and suddenly finds himself in a breathless flight through the city’s night streets. In the crossfire of gang wars, the entire neighborhood arms itself for resistance. The fight for a better future begins that very night. Shot with a freewheeling camera in a single take, »Gunman« propels the audience through the night alongside its antihero Pablo. A direct assault on the visual senses that redefines cinematic momentum. Kinetic cinema at its purest form.
