When elderly antiques dealer Jesús Gris discovers a gold, scarab-shaped mechanism hidden inside a statue, he unlocks a centuries-old invention built to ward off death. Federico Luppi is Jesús, a gentle grandfather who finds the device making him younger even as it alters his body and appetites. Soon Ron Perlman’s Angel, the volatile nephew of a dying tycoon, is hunting the artifact for his own family’s desperate use. Guillermo del Toro’s first feature turns antique-shop dust, Catholic imagery, and creeping bodily change into a story about immortality that feels both intimate and grotesque.
