Traversing from Canada to France to Lebanon, from the post-war Levant to th Lebanese civil war to the present, from French, English, to Arabic, this obstensibly modest film is without a doubt one of the finest films I've encountered.
Their mother having recently died, twin brother and sister are charged in her will to seek out an unknown brother and lost father. In their quest, they uncover their mother's heroic defiance of despotic brutality and unfathomable sorrow.
This is a must see.
Highly recommend.
