A Sunday in Kigali

Bernard Valcourt is a Canadian journalist. In April 1994 he is in Kigali. He is making a documentary there. Its subject is AIDS. Someone called Gentille works at his hotel. Gentille is Tutsi and much younger than he is. Something forms between the two of them. But the tension in the country grows quickly. Before long the genocide begins. Bernard tries to get her out of the country. The attempt comes to nothing. In July 1994 he returns and looks for her. The account comes from a novel. The film sets the two of them against the events of those months. Celine Bonnier and Luck Mervil are in the cast as well. Luc Picard and Fatou N’Diaye take the leads in Robert Favreau’s Canadian film of 2006.
