Synopsis
Eleven years after the genocide, the film follows the survivors and torturers before and after the first Gacaca tribunals during which they meet each other face to face. There's Obede, an accused child-killer whose request for pardon is simply a cynical release strategy.
There's also Gahutu, who has 'no regrets' and who refers to his victims as 'snakes' in the presence of his judges. And finally, there's François, who had been forced to kill his own brother in order to survive and who is now trying to reconcile with his sister-in-law. Through these three stories, the film weaves the portrait of a society at war against a still-present ideology of genocide.
