Two different stories during the riots after the presidential elections in Kenya in 2007/2008: The Kenyan Anne (Susan Wanjiru) was particularly badly affected. Her husband is dead, her son is in a coma. In addition, she was raped and her farm burned down. She is facing the ruins of her existence. But Anne gives everything to rehabilitate herself and slowly get her life back under control. She is determined to forgive her tormentors who have brought so much suffering upon her and her loved ones. Then there is Joseph (Walter Lagat), who was one of the accomplices in the attack on Anne. His conscience plagues him, he does not know how to deal with the matter. Joseph tries to leave the past behind and find new perspectives in his life.
