Denis Villeneuve's (Arrival, Dune) poignant and multi-layered film makes it clear how the legacy of violence, loss and displacement does not end with one generation, but continues to affect the children and grandchildren of migrants and refugees.

When their mother Nawal dies, twins Jeanne and Simon receive two mysterious letters: one for their father, whom they believed to be dead, and one for an unknown brother. What begins as a simple last wish turns into a journey that takes them from Canada to the Middle East. There, they slowly but surely unravel the poignant secrets of their mother's past.

The story intertwines family history with the harsh realities of war, exile and political struggle. It shows how choices made in times of conflict continue to have a profound impact generations later.
