Admission is free and snacks will be available! In French with English subtitles.

Synopsis: Nawal, a dying Middle Eastern woman living in Montreal, leaves separate letters to her twin children to be read once she passes away. Jeanne is to deliver hers to the father the twins never knew, and Simon is to give his to the brother they never knew they had. The siblings travel to the Middle East separately, where they each experience acts of brutality, uncover a startling family history, and have revelations about themselves.

This drama is part of the Quebec Film Series presented in collaboration with the Modern Languages Film Series at St Michael’s College.
