A Sunday in Kigali

Bernard Valcourt ( Luc Picard) is a disillusioned journalist living in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda. He's there to make a film on AIDS while all around him the racial tensions between the Tutsis and Hutus grow. At the Hôtel Des Mille Collines, headquarters for the Western expatriates, he finds a source of inspiration in Gentille ( Fatou N'Diaye), a shy and beautiful waitress. The attraction is mutual but the first steps hesitant. They're so different: she, so young, he so white. When the violence erupts, Bernard and Gentille are brutally separated. A few months later, nearly a million Rwandans massacred, Valcourt returns to Kigali, looking desperately for the woman he loves.
