Summary
Antoine Rives is a freelance journalist who is preparing a report on
repatriated Rwandans. In the course of his work, he gets to know
Clément, a Rwandan student of Hutu origin who is married to a
Tutsi woman named Alice. The latter has gone missing, so Antoine
persuades Clément to accompany him to Rwanda so that they can
look for her. What Antoine witnesses in this troubled African
country surpasses his worst expectations and he wonders to what extent
he should expose this human tragedy to the rest of the world.
