Synopsis

In the remote sands of the Moroccan desert, a rifle shot rings out - detonating a chain of events that will link an American couple's frantic struggle to survive, two Moroccan boys involved in an accidental crime, a nanny illegally crossing into Mexico with two American Children and a Japanese teen rebel whose father is sought after by the police in Tokyo.

In the course of just a few days they will each face the dizzying sensation of becoming profoundly lost - lost in the desert, lost to the world, lost to themselves - as they are pushed to the farthest edges of confusion and fear as well as to the very depths of connection and love.

In the mesmerizing and emotional film, acclaimed director Alejandro Gonzalez Ina rritu (21 grams, Amores Perros) achieves a range never seen in his films in which by making himself invisible he penetrates the different cultures, shot in three continents, directing actors and non actors in four languages and making the hyper realistic world co-habitate with the vision of the world, of the imaginery, where sound and music are the emotional narrators.This film brings back the ancient concept of BABEL and questions its modern day implications: the mistaken identities, misunderstandings and missed chances for communication that, though often unseen, drive our modern lives. Babel explores the nature of the barriers and misunderstandings that seem to separate mankind.

Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Gael Garcia Bernal and Koyi Yakusho lead an international ensemble of actors and non-professional actors from Morocco, Tijuna and Tokyo, who enrich Babel's take on cultural diversity and enhance its powerful remarks on cultural links and frontiers.
