Plot
After their mother's death, twins in Montreal travel to the Middle East to find their father and a brother they never knew.
Sinekatalog’s take
A brother and sister travel to the Middle East to uncover their mother's past. Villeneuve builds a slow-burning mystery with a devastating reveal, and the film is serious about the cycles of violence.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
