The 1994 genocide in Rwanda has traumatised generations. The children of the time lack memories, their parents are struggling to speak about it to this day. In this film they break the silence.
They were children at the time of the Tutsi genocide in Rwanda in 1994. They are now in their thirties and struggling with childhood memories of desolation and violence. To carry the weight of the past and think of a future, we must be able to talk freely. Kumva is about the need to build one's own memory in order to give flesh to the dead and to build a bridge between the past and the present.
The breasts are in place, the feathers are smoothed, off to the date! Her daughter does not comprehend the ritual of desire yet … Erotically crude, with pointed beaks in the conflicts.
Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow is a deeply personal film about what it means to look at and document, and the unforeseen consequences of a well-meant, but unprepared intervention.
Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow starts where most films about homeless kids end – the day after they are taken in. We assume it's a happy ending but what really happens next? This film tackles the emotional and ethical challenges that arise when a determined, idealistic and thoroughly unprepared American cinematographer decides to support three Mongolian orphans. Told over the span of six years, Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow is a deeply personal film and an honest portrait of how storytellers and their characters impact each other. The filmmaker and central character, Martina, grapples with what it means to intervene in a meaningful way. Ultimately, she has to ask herself who is helping whom.
The film addresses the messiness of love and belonging and the universal experience of parent-child relationships – while at the same time, Martina questions the power imbalance and accountability that arise when we look at and document.
