Abstract [en]

This chapter examines the role of space and the body as carriers of metaphorical meanings related to the notions of the border and migration in the films Biutiful and Victoria. In it, special attention is paid to the way these films use subterranean space to highlight understandings of subversion and exclusion. Limbo, on the other hand, is associated to transition and waiting, key elements of the migrant experience. Visibility/invisibility and speech/silence are also recurring in the metaphorical processes attached to corporality, underground and limbo in these films.
