Movie Haiku:Azabal plays a Christian woman who falls in love with a Moslem man as a teenager, then suffers horific consequnces. Désormeaux-Poulin & Gaudette are her children--twins left to piece together her life story after she is gone. Location presumably Lebanon (never identified), but timeframe totally jumbled & character development perfunctory. Noble failure :-(
