Passion & Ambition drive two dreamers in 1930s LA. Their love affair is ferocious and hot-blooded as they fight the city and themselves to make their dreams come true.

Set under the brutally sunny skies of Depression-era Los Angeles, a city exotic and vulgar, glamorous and raunchy - a place of heat and dust, it is the city of first and last resort, where all dreams are supposed to come true. So it is for Arturo Bandini (Colin Farrell), a son of Italian immigrants - who dreams of becoming a famous novelist and manying a beautiful blonde - and Camilla Lopez (Salma Hayek)- a Mexican who longs to marry a WASP and shed her last name. In a time when relations between Anglos and people of Mexican descant hang by tattered threads, Bandini and Camilla collide with one another, struggling against the city, their ..ambitions and their love for each other.
