I copied the title from the film by the same name. It refers to the weight of the soul. Supposedly our bodies weigh that much less, right after we die.

Directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, the movie could have turned into a melodrama - boring and devoid of meaning. Instead it touches the viewer without resorting to cheap cinematic tricks, like over acting. Naomi Watts, Sean Penn, and Benicio Del Torro are especially good in this film.

There may be a momentary beauty in death, but it is an illusion.
