„On the tower of Babel” is a film made in the form of a triptych. Each of the three stories is a new interpretation of the poem by Wisława Szymborska „On the tower of Babel”.
The first scene Danuta Stenka and Krzysztof Globisz – a film marriage – live together, yet side by side. Their son, Paweł Deląg, returns to the family home just before its sale and goes on a sentimental journey. There he meets incomprehension and confinement within four walls, disappointment of his mother, inept attempts to communicate with his father, who, being an artist, does not fully understand himself.
