The search began at the opening of their mother's will.

What happens

A mother's last wishes send twins Jeanne and Simon on a journey to Middle East in search of their tangled roots. Adapted from Wajdi Mouawad's acclaimed play, Incendies tells the powerful and moving tale of two young adults' voyage to the core of deep-rooted hatred, never-ending wars and enduring love.

What the critics said

Notable Critics

"This is the sort of movie, smart about geo-politics, but equally rich and complex in human emotions, that Costa-Gavras was making in his prime."

— Scott Foundas

"Elemental and expertly directed, Nawal's story haunts long after the credits have rolled."

— Josh Winning
