In ‘The Forest of Babel’ we see a fantasy of three children each speaking their own tongue, but nevertheless understanding each other perfectly. The movie is set in a forest in Finnish Lapland. Rauna-Aletta is a young Sami girl who needs help to lift a fallen tree. She enlists the help of Erdem and Ibai, two boys who speak only Kurdish and Basque. None of them share a common language, but miraculously they still understand each other perfectly. How this is possible remains a mystery. Through speaking and listening the children manage to work together, tie a rope around the tree, and release the reindeer that was trapped under it. Visually ‘The Forest of Babel’ showcases the beautiful forests of Lapland. There is also a political aspect to the film, as all the children speak a European language that belongs to a people without a state.
