Description

Chloe is a young Canadian obstetrician working in a makeshift clinic in a Palestinian refugee camp in the West Bank, where she treats pregnant women under the supervision of Michael, a French doctor. Facing daily checkpoints and the separation barrier, Chloe is confronted with the conflict and the people it affects: Rand , a patient for whom Chloe develops a deep affection; Faysal, Rand's older brother, a fervent resister; Safi, their younger brother, a child shattered by war who dreams of flying across borders; and Ava, a young soldier who lives next door to Chloe in her apartment in Israel.

Her encounter with the war draws Chloe into an adventure that's both deeply personal and as large as the land. She loses her bearings, is uprooted, and goes into freefall. There are trips that shake us and transform us. There are trips that shatter all of our certainties. For Chloe, INCH'ALLAH is such a trip.(c) eOne

In French, English, Arabic and Hebrew, with English subtitles.

Due to unforseen circumstances, the screening of Once in a Lifetime/ Les Héritiers that was originally scheduled for April 12, at 6:30 p.m. has been cancelled.


Dans un camp de réfugiés palestiniens en Cisjordanie, Chloé, jeune sage femme québécoise accompagne les femmes enceintes.

Entre les check points et le mur de séparation, Chloé rencontre la guerre et ceux qui la portent de chaque côté : Rand, une patiente avec qui elle va rapidement se lier d'amitié et Ava, jeune militaire, voisine de palier en Israël. A leur contact, Chloé va progressivement remettre ses repères en question.

Certains voyages font voler en éclats toutes certitudes. Pour Chloé, Inch'Allah est de ces voyages-là.
