And we will make a name for ourselves (2014)

Movie №68554, 1 film, Duration: 0:25:40

Annotation:

The film is an attempt to understand and, if possible, analyze an image imprinted in world culture – the Tower of Babel. Declared in the Bible as a sign of human pride leading to a fall, the Tower of Babel was considered a myth for centuries. And only after Robert Coldway’s excavations at the beginning of the 20th century did it suddenly appear to the world as a historical fact. From that moment on, a starting point for the development of technical civilization, its growing madness and inevitable end appeared. The film traces the perverted aspiration of mankind to Heaven through the construction of multi-story buildings – the “children” of the Tower of Babel.
