Die in Montreal aufgewachsenen Geschwister Jeanne und Simon erfahren bei der Testamentseröffnung ihrer Mutter, dass sie einen Bruder haben. Die beiden sind schockiert. Der Notar, ein Freund ihrer Mutter, die über ihre Vergangenheit immer geschwiegen hat, übergibt ihnen zwei Briefe, einen an den Bruder, einen an den Vater gerichtet. Jeanne will herausfinden, wer Vater und Bruder sind, Simon dagegen die Vergangenheit ruhen lassen. So bricht Jeanne allein auf Spurensuche in den Nahen Osten auf und deckt ein schreckliches Detail nach dem anderen ihrer vom Krieg bestimmten furchtbaren Familiengeschichte auf.

Incendies is just like Prisoners where I had to overlook Some of the more unbelievable aspects of the script in order to enjoy the payoff. It would be a 4.5 star movie easily if it weren't for a few parts. It's definitely worth the watch, though. I have it at 4 stars, on the same level as Prisoners. I just think Denis Villeneuve needs to tighten up the realism a notch to hit the 4.5-5 star level for me. The acting is truly great and I was hooked after a slightly sluggish start to the film. The actors did an awesome job conveying the emotion of a truly unthinkable situation and they deserve praise for that. You'll know it when you see it.
