GASOLINE IN THE VEINS
Paco is a street kid, house of brothers and tomb of traitors. When the police catch him riding a stolen motorcycle, he knows his fate is sealed. Luis, one of the officers who arrests him, decides to help him by introducing him to his cousin Gil, the owner of a motocross track. Paco’s chance to become a racer is jeopardized when a thug threatens to hurt his girlfriend, Maribel, if he doesn’t help him pull off a heist. Can a street kid overcome his humble beginnings and cross the finish line into a new life?
Gasoline in the Veins is a realistic drama about courage, second chances and the search for freedom.
