ADORATION
The Story:
Simon (Devon Bostick) in a Toronto high school French class many years beyond his parents' death in a car accident but far from acceptance or understanding. The teacher, Sabine (Arsinee Khanjian), has given her students a translation assignment: a news story about a terrorist planting a bomb in the luggage of his unsuspecting pregnant girlfriend, caught just as she is about to board a flight for Israel. Simon takes this story as his own. The car accident becomes the plane that never took off and his father, with his Middle Eastern heritage, becomes a terrorist comfortable with sacrificing his beautiful blond wife and unborn son. His reading of the story in class triggers anger over the explosion that didn't happen, the plane that didn't go down, the lives that weren't lost -- a debate that spills onto the Internet when Simon sets up a site in memory of the tragedy that was averted.
