A must watch

Rating: Null/10 (12 June 2014)

This film tells the story of a young woman and her twin brother who go to Lebanon in search for their mother's past, as instructed by the mother's will. They discover one heartbreaking fact after another, shaking the ultimate core of her and her brother's existence.
Just like the twins, I was unprepared for the shocking emotional roller coaster that unfolds gradually. Just when I thought it could not be worse, things turn for the worse. It's a very sad film, but somehow there's still hope, love and forgiveness in the air. The ending is very profoundly powerful, it leaves me paralysed in thoughts, entranced in emotions. "Incendies" is a must watch.
