Meanwhile, the kids of the shot lady are caught in another problem involving a gun when their caretaker takes them on a round-trip from San Diego to Mexico for her son's marriage.
Highlights:
- The idea that ties up countries, languages, locations and 'guns' to narrate simple yet peculiar incidents is novel and the making is pretty interesting with a neat screenplay.
- The nativity that the 'Moroccan father-kids' bring is brilliant. So, is that of the Mexican caretaker lady! Brad Pitt's, the deaf Japanese mute girl and the Moroccan aide to Pitt are other nice roles.
- The photography is simple and superb; And the soul of the film's theme is Gustavo Santaolalla's stirring music.
