"Uxbal, single father of two children, finds his life in chaos as he is forced to deal with his life in order to escape the heat of crime in underground Barcelona, to break with the love for the divorced, manic depressive, abusive mother of his children and to regain spiritual insight in his life as he is diagnosed with terminal cancer".

Not my words. Imported them. Starring Javier Bardem in a very unglorious role in a glorious film directed by the man who directed Babel some years ago. The settings, the story, and the acting are very engrossing and touching. I wasn't sure that I liked this as it was rolling but in the end I did quite a lot. Refreshing in a world of action movies. In Spanish with sub-titles.
