Father’s Day

Father’s Day

Rwanda | 2022 | 110 min | Fiction
Director: Kivu Ruhorahoza
Screenplay: Kivu Ruhorahoza
Cinematography: Taté
Cast: Médiatrice Kayitesi, Aline Amike, Yves Kijyana, Cedric Gisubizo

Synopsis

Zaninka is mourning her dead son, but her selfish husband thinks only of himself and their love is fading. Mukobwa can save his father by donating a lung lobe, but he hesitates because he has discovered a dark past relating to the Rwandan genocide. Little Kadogo is learning to hate after being brutally reprimanded by his street-thief father. A lyrical film that subtly captures snippets of crippled emotions, Father’s Day looks at the role of fathers, toxic masculinity, and the patriarchal system in a country still haunted by the shadows of a national tragedy.
