Sacred Water

Directed by Olivier Jourdain

2016 – 54'

Synopsis

Guided by Vestine, an extravagant star of radio nights, the film discovers Rwandan sexuality in search of the water that gushes out of the female body. Sacred Water reveals with humor and spontaneity the mystery of female bliss.
With all the lightness but also seriousness the subject requires, the film takes us to a modern Africa and its founding myths, and reflects our view about sex and pleasure in the Western world. Sacred Water immerses you into contemporary Rwandan culture in the most intimate way: sex.
