Film Synopsis
Marie Simard, a publisher based in Montreal, is the recipient of a strange
collection of letters which describe, in graphic detail, a series of atrocities
being committed in Palestinian camps in Lebanon. Most horrific are
first-hand accounts of several massacres. Marie is deeply shocked and
disturbed by what she reads and feels impelled to meet the person who sent
the letters to her before she goes ahead and publishes them. Unfortunately,
Marie's mysterious correspondent, a man named Joseph, has apparently gone
missing, and this makes her more determined than ever to see for herself
what conditions are like in Lebanon. Without delay, she leaves her
safe, cosy world in Quebec behind her and sets off for the Middle East, for
what will be a life-changing voyage of discovery...
