YVONE KANE (214 | 117 min | color)
After her daughters death, Rita returns to her childhoods African country to investigate the death of Yvone Kane, a former political activist and guerrilla fighter. There, she becomes embroiled in a journey into the atmospheric longing of a lost paradise. Rita discovers a country where progress is build above the ruins of a violent past, while she meets her mother (Sara), still living in the old familiar house.
In a singular parallel/opposite research both women are looking for explanations. As putting together the pieces of a broken jar, Sara lives her last days looking for the meaning of her recent actions, while Rita goes on the edge of shifting realities, half truths from the scars of history and war. Every single step is a trap that perhaps they would prefer not to know. Both lonely women are two faces of the same stray Human being, facing the lost tails of the revolution, surviving the ghost of colonialism, reaching uselessly the shadow of a past that never leaves, the ashes of a future that never comes.
