Thirty years after the genocide against the Tutsi: how do you live when you’ve survived the worst?

1994, in the aftermath of the genocide against the Tutsi, Isabelle Darras, a young journalist, volunteers to go to Zaire, to a Rwandan refugee camp. Thirty years later, she meets up with those whose childhood or adolescence was shaken by the extermination of the Tutsi. She weaves together traumatic memories, life projects, and a present full of rage and hope. This genocide, for which France bears a heavy responsibility, also reveals unexpected paths of light.
