Overview

Paris, April 1994. Young freelance journalist Antoine Rives is making a report on Westerners who have been repatriated from Rwanda, fleeing the massacres. He meets Clément, a student of Hutu origin whose Tutsi fiancée Alice hasn’t been able to leave Rwanda.

This is a journey through horror during which a young man’s First World illusions are stripped away as he wakes up to human tragedy.
