The first story is set in Morocco, where an arms dealer is buying rifles for children. One day, while playing with the rifle, the arms dealer's son shoots through the window of a tourist bus, wounding an American woman, Susan (played by Cate Blanchett).
The second story is set in the United States, where Susan's husband Richard (played by Brad Pitt) and her nanny Amelia (played by Adriana Barraza) get into trouble when Susan is hospitalized in Morocco. Amelia tries to arrange care for Susan's children while Richard tries to get help for his wife who is abroad.
The third story focuses on Japan, where a deaf teenage girl, Chieko (played by Rinko Kikuchi), struggles with feelings of loneliness and isolation. She struggles to gain attention and connection with other people and gets lost in sexual behavior.
The fourth story takes us to Mexico, where Amelia crosses the border with her children and gets into trouble with the authorities. She tries to survive and take care of the children while Richard tries to get back to the United States to help his family.
The four stories are interconnected through a chain of events, although they are set in different places and cultures. The film explores the effects of communication and misunderstandings caused by language barriers on people's lives. It raises questions about the encounter of cultures, the importance of communication and the universal needs and challenges of people.
"Babel" is an impressive and intense film that provokes thoughts and emotions. It offers a multi-layered picture of human relationships and challenges in the modern world. The film was awarded several awards, including the Golden Globe and the Best Director award at the Cannes Film Festival.
