This Arabic and French movie follows the journey of twins Jeanne and Simon as they retrace their mother’s history, after her death. Looking for a father and brother they never knew, they travel to the Middle East and discover that their mother was forced to leave the country of her birth due to her religious and political beliefs.
The plot unfolds like a thriller, keeping us guessing as we see flashbacks of the mother’s dark past, but also plays out like a deeply sentimental drama as we’re drawn into the story of a woman who essentially lived two completely different lives. Well received and highly acclaimed, this foreign film is definitely worth watching.
Rating: 4 outta 5.
