Biutiful
“You don't choose your family. We all belong to somebody, but to belong to Uxbal and Marambra, is both a blessing and a curse.”
This is a story of a man in free fall. On the road to redemption, darkness lights his way. Connected with the afterlife, Uxbal is a tragic hero and father of two who's sensing the danger of death. He struggles with a tainted reality and a fate that works against him in order to forgive, for love, and forever.
