A local Hutu official is persuaded to begin implementing the Government’s policy against the Tutsi: to completely wipe them out. Josette, a beautiful young Tutsi girl and her family struggle to
survive the killing and take refuge in a Church supposedly protected by the UN forces. Meanwhile, her brother is hunted down and murdered and her boyfriend rescued by the rebels. But the Hutu Catholic priest betrays Josette’s family and only agrees to spare her life if she becomes his concubine.
By the time she is reunited with her boyfriend, neither of them can face the brutal reality of her situation. Josette is pregnant and bears the priest’s child which she immediately abandons.
