Incendies Movie Index -

Nawal had been a prisoner here. She had been tortured, humiliated, and raped. But she had sung. She sang to keep her sanity, and she sang for the child she had lost in the chaos of the war—the child taken from her before she could even name him.

The film utilizes a non-linear structure, weaving between the twins' present-day investigation and flashbacks of Nawal’s harrowing life during a brutal civil war. Her journey begins with the loss of her first love and her child, eventually leading her into the heart of the conflict where she becomes a political prisoner known as "The Woman Who Sings".
