EL DÍA QUE DIOS SE FUE DE VIAJE

GENOCIDES

el dia que dios se fue de viaje

Rwanda, April 1994. Westerns flee the country during these early days of the genocide. Before their evacuation, a Belgian family hides their nanny, Jacqueline, in the attic, saving her life in the doing. She leaves her hide-out after a few days and heads for her village to collect her children. There she discovers what has really happened in the country, finding herself thrown into the horror surrounding her on all sides.

Winner of the New Directors Award at last year’s San Sebastian Festival, opera prima from its director, this movie delves into the heart of horror with a woman survivor of one of the most terrible occurrences in recent human history.
