Incendies

 An incredibly powerful film that unfolds in such unique and unexpected ways, Incendies will floor you from the very first scene. It is one of those rare, extraordinary films that restore your faith in the power of cinema.

At the reading of their mother Nawal's will, twin siblings Jeanne and Simon learn for the first time that they have a brother, and that their father, who they thought was dead, is in fact alive. Their mother's final wish is that the twins find them both to deliver two mysterious sealed letters. Shifting back and forth in time, Incendies follows two parallel journeys, expertly interwoven: the twins' journey to their mother's Middle-Eastern homeland and Nawal's journey twenty years earlier to find the baby boy she was forced to give up.

Courtesy of Hopscotch Films, Alliance Française members have the chance to win a double pass to see the French-Canadian film Incendies across the weekend of April 15, 16 and 17.
