Adapted from contemporary Lebanese playwright Wajdi Mouawad's work, Incendies is a thrilling movie that tells parallel stories of a mother and a daughter's journey through both sides of a civil war.

At the reading of her will after their mother’s death, Jeanne and Simon receive two envelopes to be hand-delivered to a father they thought was dead and a brother whose existence was unknown.

Hoping to find the key to the mother's silence, Jeanne leaves for the Middle East to exhume the family's past.

The film is visually captivating, tense and beautiful in the development of subtle and complex characters, and brilliant in the evocation of an enticing and staggering mystery.
