A coming-of-age story that uses a child's perspective to capture the collision between innocent childhood joy and the encroaching darkness of genocide and historical trauma.

Gabriel, aged 10, lives in a comfortable ex-pat neighborhood in Burundi, his ‘small country’. Gabriel is a normal kid, happy, carefree and having adventures with his friends and little sister. Then in 1993, tensions in neighboring Rwanda spill over, threatening his family and his innocence.
