The video is a little heavy
2 and a half hours is not easy
The director struggles to show a chaotic city of Barcelona
Every day these lives are quietly born and die
Every day they at the bottom of the society are in their own joy and pain
Dirty homes and even basements are used as shelter
Chinese migrant workers who have entered illegally are struggling to survive in an unfamiliar country
Middlemen who profit from cheap labor continue to squeeze migrant workers
People smuggled from everywhere face the risk of being deported at any time
The camera is aimed at such a group of people who have been dismissed for a long time
a person's life
It is the true portrayal of the whole class
Usibal (Javier Barden) connects the whole story
He's a professional psychic
Able to communicate with the dead to comfort those grieving loved ones
The more he comes into contact with death, the more disturbed he is
When death (cancer) finds itself
He understands that death is the end
Even if he's worried about his kids, there's nothing he can do for them
Usibal as an intermediary
Responsible for liaising with Chinese leather bag manufacturers and illegal immigrant traders
sell products for profit
The two groups of people he contacted are illegal and cannot be detected by the police.
This made it necessary for him to maintain a good relationship with the police
It's a pity that the "betrayal" of the police exposed the matter
Illegal immigrant deported including his good friend A
Out of a sense of responsibility and guilt and an entrustment from A
He has to take care of his wife and son who is under two years old
Out of kindness, Usibal wants to help these illegal laborers survive.
Help them fight for living space and material basis
The weather is cold
So he asked for money to buy heating from a black-hearted businessman
But he himself had cancer and only had two months left to live.
He needs to plan more for the future of his children
So he deducted part of the money from it and bought only the cheapest heater
But I don't want to cause a gas leak accident out of good intentions
Twenty-five illegal immigrants died overnight
The naked tragedy is unbearable for Usibal
As he suffered both physical and mental torment
Things are coming to an end
Usibal dies
But the Barcelona story continues
"I know God will take care of them,
But God can't help them pay the rent."
The child's mother and his ex-wife Malam Bata (Maricel Álvarez)
Is a woman who has been addicted to alcohol and drugs for a long time.
So who does he entrust the child to?
He expressed his concerns to a senior psychic
He wants to pray but doesn't know who
It seems that faith cannot solve Ursibar's problems at this time
The embarrassment of reality overcomes the belief in the past
The wife and children of the aforementioned stowaways friend A were temporarily housed in his old house
When Attempts to Reconcile Family Reunion with Ex-Wife Failed
Usibal returns home with children
in the last days of life
He wants his friend's wife to promise to take care of his children
He hoped that his past kindness and loyalty would allow him to get this little bit in return
It turns out that a little kindness really works
Wife of friend A who wants to take the deposit and leave at the bus station
Back home again after tossing and turning
She knew the city wouldn't allow her and her children to fit in
But these days are not bad
What's more, she really couldn't bear to leave such a family with the same disease.
But have we ever thought about the city
It's more about people watching from the sidelines
More of a squeeze and exploitation
Like a black-hearted factory forcing workers to work overtime
and squeeze their wages on both sides
like some discrimination against skin color and religion
Even in the mind of the most innocent child
discriminatory treatment
Did you notice when picking up two kids from school?
This black woman can only say hello from a distance
Cross the road and walk only on both sides
Everyone in the city of Barcelona is a poor person in need of help
Why Usibal Helped This Stowaway Friend
Why help unfamiliar Chinese workers
Trust from others is rare
But who came to help him?
A little warmth in depression
"Beautiful bug"
"how to spell 'beautiful'?"
"biutiful"
It was a harmless mistake
We make some beautiful mistakes
our intentions are good
It's a pity that we went far from our original intention.
The two Asian businessmen in the film are actually a couple
In traditional thinking, this kind of same-sex love is not recognized
This repressed feeling
And it went to extremes because of the exposure of the worker's gas poisoning incident.
In panic, people always choose the most abnormal and irrational solution
The film silently narrates the silently leaving figure by staring at the window
expresses the passing of a life
In such a chaotic environment, it is unremarkable
The only warmth in the film is between the father and the child
The boy did not get the love of his mother since he was a child
Anticipated trip to the Pyrenees failed due to 'madman' mother's punishment
Heartbroken father returns late to see child left behind
secretly shed tears
He is afraid that he will not be cared for his children after he dies
How could he feel at ease if the situation really turned out to be like this?
Girls seem to be more sensible
From the details of life, I noticed the strangeness of my father
Facing her increasingly weak father, she was helpless
Usibal fears that his children will forget his looks when they grow up
blurs my memory
He begs to tell the child not to forget himself
In fact, his own experience is convincing enough.
He never met his father
Because his father fled to Mexico to escape the law
But in his heart he never forgot his father
When I found my father's coffin, I specifically asked to see my father
Some relationships do not depend on the length of time
And change the weight in each other's hearts
Kindness and blood
the last scene of the film
Usibal anticipates his own death
saw my soul
He sat there quietly without consciously shedding tears
But it's always a pity that people can't overcome death
