Twenty-one-year-old Marta falls in love with Rukundo, a choir leader. But their love seems doomed by impossibility and intolerance. They find themselves asking if, in post-genocide Rwanda, two people from different sides of the conflict can live and love together. Or is it too soon ?

Set in the present, A Love Letter to My Country follows the burgeoning love affair between Marta, 21, a Tutsi who lost her family during the genocide, and Rukundo, 27, a Hutu with family members serving jail sentences for participating in the genocide.
