The filmmakers behind "Amores Perros" and "21 Grams" reunite for this Oscar-nominated drama that spans the globe with intertwined stories of humans unable to communicate: a husband (Brad Pitt) desperately tries to save the life of his critically injured wife (Cate Blanchett) during a Moroccan holiday gone tragically wrong; back home in California, their housekeeper disastrously crosses the Mexican border with the couple's children; and in Japan, a young girl flirts with sexual promiscuity, acting out her grief over her mother's death.
