SOMETIMES IN APRIL

Augustin Muganza and his comrade Xavier, both Hutu soldiers, defy their military superiors’ instructions in order to get Augustin’s Tutsi wife and children in safer havens. But Augustin fails to reach them and is arrested. He has no idea what has happened to his family, but has little hope they have survived. Ten years later, he decides to start a new life with his girlfriend, Martine. The couple attend the UN tribunal in Arusha, where Augustin’s brother must answer to a Commission of Truth and Reconciliation.
