A never-seen-before short movie is resurrected from the archives of the Cinematheque of Bologna: "Ragazzo Motore" starring the auteur Pier Paolo Pasolini. The unedited film is the starting point of a journey across the universe of Pasolini.

It leased men to build the Tower of Babel to reach heaven and surpass God, after which God punished them by destroying their unity.

As an example, the video presents the fight for survival or Iraqi children deprived of food - a way of cutting off their tongues. And what forbidden fruit had they tasted? What language would we like them to speak? That of having or that or being? Or, do we simply hope that they die without uttering a word?
