The Bride

Three years after the genocide of the Tutsis, Eva, a young woman dreaming of studying medicine, is kidnapped and subjected to Guterura, a traditional forced marriage. Her conservative family pushes her to accept her new situation, and Eva finds herself facing a stranger. The only person who is kind to her is his cousin... Will she have the courage to flee?

Many families are stemming from the Guterura, a tradition that is now almost extinct, but the subject remains taboo. A vibrant call for self-determination and a tribute film to the resilience of women, whether they stayed or fled.
