Jacaranda

Trama

Faced with the prospect of having to repeat a year in school, twelve-year-old Milan tells his parents the first lie he can think of: his bad grades are due to the genocide in Rwanda, his mother's homeland. In reality, he knows little about Rwanda or his mother's past, which she has kept secret.
