Synopsis
The Life Sublime tells the story of Víctor, a young man who finds the passion for life that he is looking for in the figure of his dead grandfather, el Cuco, and the journey his grandfather made to the south of Spain as a youth in the early forties, a journey that remains a family mystery.
