BIG FISH – Rumba Rwandaise

BIG FISH – Rumba Rwandaise dives into the world of Mère Josée, who invites the viewer on a culinary journey through Congolese and Rwandan cuisine that goes beyond the sense of taste. Sharing dishes means sharing stories. A cinematic portrait of a fascinating woman who sets the rhythm of her own dance of life, even if her freedom of movement ends where the European border regime begins.
