Good day everyone.
I'm trying to find a specific film, which I don't know the name or many details to. In fact, I don't even know if it's a good film or not.
Anyway, it's a film with multiple points-of-view much like Pulp Fiction, which tells a kind of confusing story that only fits when all people's stories are shown.
It is about a man who works with shit, cleaning cesspools for money. He sees a TV article about genetic manipulation and, wanting to give his son a 'better' future and create a little genius, he gets involved with the local mob to do dirty work and get enough cash to pay for the procedure. I remember he dies in the end, and that his son turns out to be a genius after all.
The film isn't about genetic manipulation itself, but about the relationship between this man and his wife, etcetera.
That's all the information I have, can anybody help?
ps. I also made this same post in /r/, but I figured this board could be more useful.

The closest think I can think of is an episode of the Outer Limits called "Unnatural Selection". Alan Ruck (Cameron from Ferris Bueller) was the husband.

THAT'S IT!! Thank you so much. I knew /tv/ would deliver. Thanks again for the solution to this quandary which had been plaguing me. I am so genuinely grateful.

No worries. We watched it in citizenship class.

OP here, no, that's not actually it.
Just read the plot on wikipedia and no basement imprisonment is involved in the film I'm talking about.
I'm almost 100% positive it was a film, and not an episode of some series(although that seemed pretty interesting and I'll be checking it out).
>pretending to be OP for no discernible reason
Uh... okay.
