    • Synopsis
    • Claudine Mugambira (Eliane Umuhire) of the Tutsi origin is a daughter of a renown Rwandan ornithologist. After the massacre, in which her father is killed, Anna Keller (Jowita Budnik), who carried on her research on vultures in Rwanda along with Claudine’s father for years, helps her to escape to Poland. Anna herself witnesses and is deeply affected by the violence that now, after return to Poland, is resounding repeatedly in her memories. The brutality she experienced makes her unable to accept a slow and peaceful flow of life and indifference towards the events in Rwanda. On the other hand, she feels a need to radically change her ways and escape from the painful past, what Claudine’s presence makes impossible to achieve. Both women, deeply suffering, engage in a complex and piercing psychological process of healing and restoration of their daily lives.
