Summary
Directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu ('Amores Perros', 'Birdman'), '21 Grams' is a nonlinear narrative film that explores themes of fate, interconnectedness, and the emotional weight carried by its characters. The title refers to the supposed loss of weight at the moment of death, alluding to the spiritual heaviness felt by Paul, Christina, and Jack as they grapple with their pasts and search for redemption. Set in New Mexico, the film's multiple storylines are presented out of chronological order, requiring viewers to piece together the puzzle as it unfolds.
