Synopsis:
Armed with a Winchester rifle, two Morrocan boys set out to look after
their family’s herd of goats. In the silent echoes of the desert,
they decide to test the rifle… but the bullet goes farther than
they thought it would.
In an instant, the lives of four separate groups of strangers on three
different continents collide. Caught up in the rising tide of an accident
that escalates beyond anyone’s control are a vacationing American
couple (Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett), a rebellious deaf Japanese teenager
and her father, and a Mexican nanny who, without permission, takes two
American children across the border. None of these strangers will ever
meet; in spite of the sudden, unlikely connection between them, they will
all remain isolated due to their own inability to communicate meaningfully
with anyone around them.
From Alejandro González Iñárritu comes a film that
is at once intimate and epic, shot in four countries, cast with actors
and non-actors, and concludes his trilogy that started with “Amores
Perros” and “21 Grams.”
