Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) nie ma ochoty wieść "przyzwoitego" życia. Zamiast kariery, rodziny i przesiadywania przed telewizorem wybiera wieczną balangę, narkotyki i kompletny odjazd.

"Loro", in two parts, is a period movie that chronicles, as a fiction story, events likely happened in Italy (or even made up) between 2006 and 2010. "Loro" wants to suggest in portraits and glimps, through a composite constellation of characters, a moment in history, now definitively ended, which can be described in a very summary picture of the events as amoral, decadent but extraordinarily alive.
