Description

Parents send their daughters to Our Lady of the Nile to be moulded into respectable citizens. In the elite school run by white nuns, the young ladies learn, eat, sleep and gossip together. Fifteen years prior to the Rwandan genocide, the girls try on their parents' preconceptions and attitudes. Everything unfolds behind the doors of the school: friendship, curiosity, fear, deceit, and persecution.
