Inch’Allah from Quebec born director Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette makes is TIFF 2012 appearance as part of the Special Presentations programme.
Synopsis
The film follows Chloe, a Canadian obstetrician transplanted to a West Bank clinic. While Chloe works with patients with high-risk pregnancies, she encounters all of the glorious absurdities of war. Chloe is an outsider, with interests on both sides of the conflict, but has to confront an age-old conundrum - how you live in a routinized cycle of violence and not internalize it?
Why should you see it?
Inch’Allah comes from the same production team that brought us the acclaimed. Incendies and Monsieur Lazhar.
