At the urging of his Lebanese French teacher, a Torontan teenager confesses to his classmates that his Palestinian father attempted to make martyrs of him and his mother on a flight to Israel before his birth, bringing to the fore questions of right and wrong, truth and fiction, in Egoyan’s affecting, intelligent, and provocative exploration of difficult subject matter.
