The movie tells the story of a dying Middle Eastern woman living in Canada, who leaves her twins separate letters to be read once she has passed away.  

Her daughter is tasked with delivering a note to the father that the twins never met, while her son is made to do the same - but for the brother they never knew. 

After being told of their duties, the twins travel to the Middle East separately, where they uncover their family history, with devastating consequences.
