Rains Over Babel (Llueve sobre Babel)

Dir. Gala del Sol, Colombia/U.S./Spain, 2025, 111 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. A retro-futuristic, queer tropical-punk riff on Dante’s Inferno, Rains Over Babel follows a band of misfits converging at Babel, a dive bar that doubles as purgatory and is presided over by La Flaca—the city’s Grim Reaper. Here, souls gamble years of their lives in hopes of outwitting Death Herself. Among them are Dante, racing to uncover his past; Monet, a ghost desperate to reclaim his body; Timbí and Uma, descending through hell to save their loved ones; and Jacob, preparing for his first drag performance. Acclaimed at the Sundance Film Festival, this love letter to Cali, reimagined as the mythical City of Maya, fuses magical and gritty realism into a vibrant, psychedelic universe of love, identity, gender fluidity, resilience, and second chances.
