Uxbal, a single father of two children who possesses a paranormal gift, finds his life in chaos when he is diagnosed with terminal cancer. He attempts to escape from the dangerous and seedy underworld of Barcelona he is involved in, and to set things right for his children.

Before Birdman, Alejandro González Iñárritu went to Barcelona for this heartrending drama of inner-city grit mixed with supernatural elements. A reflection on fatherhood and guilt, Javier Bardem’s blistering performance was nominated for an Academy Award® and won him the Best Actor prize at Cannes.
