Emma Dardenne, une veuve habitant seule à Bruxelles, est née au Rwanda en 1908 d’une mère rwandaise et du capitaine Heinrich von Bethe, un officier allemand en service dans la colonie allemande à cette époque. Malgré son âge avancé (95 ans), elle décide de revisiter le Rwanda accompagnée de sa fille Paulette et de son petit-fils Manu, pour leur donner enfin une preuve de ses récits d’enfance. Emma nous prend par la main pour voyager à travers l’espace-temps jusqu’aux bords du lac Kivu, où elle est encore surnommée « La fille du Grand Monsieur ».
