Biutiful

[Machine Translation] This is the proof of my father's life. This is the story that Inarritu, one of the world's leading masters, most wanted to depict. --Barcelona, a metropolis in Spain. Behind the glamorous image of the city lies the harsh reality of the daily lives of its people. Usval (Javier Bardem), a man living in a corner of the metropolis, is separated from his wife and lives with his two young children. Because his life is far from affluent, he takes on all kinds of work to earn his daily bread, sometimes even working illegally. One day, however, despair comes to Usubal. He is diagnosed with terminal cancer. He has only two months left to live. Unable to confide in his family and fighting the fear of death that is steadily creeping up on him, Usubal decides to live all the time he has left for the sake of his beloved children. Love, sin, fate, and death. What is the powerful and beautiful human figure that only those who know the end can show?

*Rated 12-and-over.
