Last year in film school, I watched part of film about a boy who was given up for adoption (maybe forcibly?) to bad men in a foreign country. I believe to country was in Europe, possibly Italy. He grows up being forced to rape women who are held captive. The most shocking part of the film is when he finds out one of the women he raped is his mother. The film was released in the 1990s or early ’00s.
This sounds like, the film Incendies. The synopsis on IMDB doesn’t explain the movie that well, but I’ve seen it and it’s quite disturbing about the woman’s son, who her other children didn’t know existed and what he did. I believe it is Lebanese and not Italian.
Solved! I looked up the trailer and that’s definitely the film. Thanks!
