SYNOPSIS

During an outing organized by the nursing home where she now lives due to Alzheimer’s disease, Lucienne, a 72-year-old mixed-race woman, believes she has found Solange, the godmother who cared for her at the institution for mixed-race children where she grew up in Rwanda. Their failed attempt to bring the Belgian State to trial for crimes against humanity suddenly resurfaces, forcing long-buried memories back into the open.
