En el corazón de Ruanda, en un internado femenino situado en la cresta Congo-Nilo, a 2500 metros de altitud, se desarrolla una historia de amistad, rivalidad y tensiones étnicas. Las familias de las estudiantes aspiran a que lleguen vírgenes al matrimonio, pero las jóvenes se enfrentan a transgresiones y a un ambiente donde un estricto cupo étnico limita la presencia de estudiantes tutsi. Un pintor excéntrico asegura que los tutsi descienden de los faraones negros de Meroe, añadiendo una capa de complejidad a las tensiones existentes. Este microcosmos es un preludio del genocidio ruandés, explorando sueños, desilusiones y esperanzas de supervivencia en un contexto de luchas políticas y complots.
