Annotation:

The film - an attempt to understand and analyze the possible image imprinted in world culture - the Tower of Babel. Claimed in the biblical writings as a symbol of human pride, leading to the fall, the Tower of Babel was considered a myth for centuries. It was only after the excavation Robert Koldveya at the beginning of the 20th century, was suddenly the world, as a historical fact. Since there was a reference point for the development of technical civilization, its growing insanity and inevitable end. The film traces the perverse desire of humanity to Heaven through the construction of high-rise buildings - "calves" Tower of Babel.
