The city of scorched earth, a world burned by war, the driver said, the most important thing here is war. The boundless greed of human beings and the mutual hatred of generations have ignited this endless fire of war. The lawyer said it was a series of revenge that could not be quelled, like mathematical addition.
Christian Nava failed to elope with his Muslim refugee lover, his lover was beaten to death by his brother, and he gave birth to a posthumous child and was sent to a Christian orphanage. Then the war broke out, and Nava, who was studying in the city, resolutely returned to her hometown and embarked on the road to find her son. Nava got on a bus and was massacred by Christian militiamen. The cross pendant kept her alive, but other refugees were not so lucky. Nava tries to rescue a terrified daughter from another mother's arms, but the innocent little girl takes her own life. At this time, there were no voices shouting, only the muffled background music and gunshots. The parting of mother and daughter in the picture was heart-wrenching. Nava's physical survival shattered her spirit, she was motionless beside a burning bus, a desert roaring with black smoke. Her love for her lover, her love for her children, turned into hatred for her enemies. She sided with the Muslims, then assassinated the Christian militia leader and was jailed for 15 years in Kafarat prison.
Nawa's son Nihad was in a Christian orphanage. He was kidnapped by Muslims who attacked the village and trained to become a Muslim warrior. He was then captured by Christians, trained and sent to Kafalat Prison to be responsible for the torture of Muslim prisoners. Nava didn't know when she would be able to see her son again, only the three little dots on the back of his right foot. Years later, the old and frail Nava saw his son at an inadvertent moment and recognized him. He was the prison guard who raped Nava.
Reality and Nava really made a not funny joke, the truth that one plus one equals one is so cruel. Knowing the truth, from puzzlement to understanding the mother's twin tears, what a heartache.
The film cleverly travels in two different time and space: the mother spends her life struggling to find her eldest son; the twins follow the mother's will and travel to the Middle East to find their father and brother. The two narrative clues are interspersed with each other, and the story is advanced layer by layer to unravel the suspense.
Despite being raped by her estranged son and having two beautiful children, Nava is still full of love. At the end of the film, Nava writes to Nihad in two capacities; both to illustrate the psychological trauma of being a victim, and to express her love as a mother, because Nava knows that Nihad must also be looking for his own. family. The phrase "being together is the most beautiful thing" is a mixture of a mother's saddest appeal and deepest love for the war. In the end, Nava was finally able to rest in peace, because the oath was kept, the silence no longer existed, and her son Nihad also stood long before his mother's tomb to atone for his sins. The war makes people suffer and makes people cry, and after being injured, Nava finds that fate has pointed the pointer of hatred to the son she most wants to see, so should she hate, should she suffer, or? Nava chose love, breaking the grip of anger. "When the anger is subsided, I can gently sing a lullaby to comfort you and put you to sleep. The best thing is to be with you." This is Nava's third letter, addressed to the twins. Hate cannot end with hatred, but love can. Love fills the world with light. If you want to receive love, you have to give love first. Love life, love others, love the world, and you will get love from everything around you.
May you be a lovely person.
