Fifteen-year-old V wakes in a bare, unfamiliar room—locked in, alone, and with no memory of her name or how she got there. Beyond the walls, a maze of identical rooms holds dozens of other kids, all trapped like her. As V pieces together fragments of her past, the mystery of where they are begins to sharpen into something worse. Because the nightmare isn’t not knowing—it’s what the truth is. The grand scale of this story delves into some very relevant issues happening in the world today. Though we may never find the absolute truth or see any swift justice for the victims, perhaps this story will help release some of that frustration. The concept is simple, but the scale is massive. So if you can hang in there with me, I promise, the progression and payoff will be very rewarding.

Gitarama, in the Southern Province of Rwanda, 1994. Five-year-old Alice enjoys a peaceful childhood with her parents and little sisters, but life as she knows it is about to change forever as the genocide of the Tutsis erupts, forcing her to escape her village with her family. It is on the hot roads of the Democratic Republic of Congo, known then as Zaire, that Alice grows up, bouncing from one refugee camp to another, seeking some semblance of a normal life in between violent attacks, with death always lurking around the corner. With Alice, Gaspard Talmasse delivers a singular testimony, capturing with painfully real emotion a relentless world as seen thorough the eyes of an innocent child: one who grew up to become his own life partner.
