Incendies

Incendies, directed by Denis Villeneuve, follows the journey of twins Jeanne and Simon Marwan as they unravel their mother Nawal's mysterious past after her death. Nawal's will sends them on separate quests: Jeanne to find a brother they never knew existed, and Simon to find their father, who they believed was dead. Their search takes them to the Middle East, a war-torn country (implied to be Lebanon), where they uncover shocking truths about their mother's life as a prisoner and victim of brutal conflict. The film explores themes of war, violence, revenge, and the enduring power of family secrets, leading to a devastating revelation about the twins' own origins.
