About
In 2012 Rwanda, a genocide survivor who believes in community courts organizes sessions between victims and executioners' families while a family crisis tests her beliefs.
In Rwanda in 2012, eighteen years after the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi, courts are being established as part of efforts toward justice and reconciliation. Veneranda (Clémentine U. Nyirinkindi), a survivor, believes in the need for these trials. Despite pressure, she organises discussion sessions between victims and the families of executioners.
For some of those involved the testimonial sessions work as therapy; for others they are an act of betrayal, and the meetings revive traumas they try to overcome in their own way. Veneranda's own past wounds are exposed again when she learns that her daughter is unexpectedly pregnant. The situation forces her to confront her contradictions and the dark parts of her past.
