"Set in the grim underbelly of Barcelona, this haunting drama follows Uxbal (Javier Bardem), a black-market hustler and devoted father, as he grapples with terminal illness, spiritual visions, and the burden of keeping his fractured family afloat. Navigating a world of undocumented immigrants, corrupt deals, and personal demons, Uxbal searches for redemption in a city that offers none.
