Story: |
In BABEL, a tragic incident involving an American couple in Morocco sparks a chain of
events for four families in different countries throughout the world. Tied by circumstance
but separated by continent, culture and language, each character discovers that it is
family that ultimately provides solace.
In the remote sands of the Moroccan desert, a rifle shot rings out - detonating a chain
of events that will link an American tourist 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 deaf Japanese teen rebel whose father is sought by
the police in Tokyo. Separated by clashing cultures and sprawling distances, each of
these four disparate groups of people are nevertheless hurtling towards a shared
destiny of isolation and grief.
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.
