French-Canadian drama, adapted from Wajdi Mouawad's acclaimed play and nominated for Best Foreign Langauge Film at the 2011 Academy Awards.
After the death of their mother (Lubna Azabal), Jeanne and Simon (Mélissa Désormeaux Poulin, Maxim Gaudette) receive a pair of envelopes in the will – one for the father they thought was dead and another for a brother they didn’t know existed.
Jeanne decides to go to the Middle East to dig into her mysterious family history. Simon is unmoved by their mother’s posthumous mind games but joins his sister in combing their ancestral homeland. The twins discover a tragic fate and a very different person from the mother they knew.
