Years of war tear Aziza, a journalist from Bukavu, away from her husband. Soon after reuniting in Kinshasa, Aziza needs to revisit Bukavu, where she faces one the deepest scars of the fighting: conquest through rape. Osvalde Lewat-Hallade started her career as a journalist. She produced her first documentary Upsa Yimoowin or the Pipe of Hope in Toronto. She became famous with Beyond the Pains (2003), featuring a prisoner who was convicted for four years, but has been in jail for 33 years.
