I am tempted by Incendies. Is this one where watching the trailer would give too much away?

Conor, agreed on keeping the pitch short. I want a reason to try it without knowing every turn.

Incendies is one I am weighing up. The description has me curious. I would rather know the mood than the whole plot.

Conor, would be nice to come back to this thread once a few more people have given it a go.

For anyone considering Incendies: I would like to see this in the six with a few very different choices around it.
