The most disturbing story

After a mother dies and asks a pair of twin girls to fulfill two wishes, she gradually discovers a promise to her son, a horrific massacre, a brave assassination, an incestuous rape, and an embarrassing relationship, all of which are swept away by the great man. The mother explains and misses with love. Although the film does not make it clear which country in the Middle East is the story of, it makes people feel the pain of war deeply. The bizarre, tortuous and shocking story constructed by the script makes people feel like they have been punched. This can be said to be the Middle East version of "Apocalypse of War", and the director is more clever because there are not many war scenes in the film. It would be perfect if the rhythm of the movie could be sped up a little bit.
