Gaël Kamilindi’s mother was named Didy and died when he was barely five years old. Decades later, the director returns to his native Rwanda to fill in the gaps in his history. Together with friends and family, he engages in conversation and delves into old photo albums to gradually piece together more and more fragments of Didy’s life. In doing so, he paints a sensitive portrait not only of his mother, but also of an entire generation of women who had to survive—and thrive—amidst genocide, disease, and violence.
