A young woman goes back to her native village fleeing from an abusive marriage and looking for emotional support. However, she will find herself facing the hostile attitude of her family and social norms ruling what a real woman should be.

Three family stories intersect in present-day Rwanda: a mother tries to cope with the loss of her son, a young woman takes care of the ailing father she never truly loved, and a small-time criminal prepares his son for a life of living by his wits.
