And the vote was unanimous. Bardem was exemplary in his role as the criminal named Uxbal.
Set in the dark world of Barcelona's sweatshops and exploited illegal immigrants, Uxbal has managed to retain some of his humanity.
However, when an unexpected turn of events throws his life into chaos, he must provide for the future of his two children even as he confronts the harsh realities of the life he has chosen.
