Ibuka is a haunting animation blended with documentary elements, capturing the fragile moments of Valentine and Jean-Claude during the Rwandan civil war. The atmosphere is heavy, almost palpable, as it explores the agony of survival amidst chaos. The tone shifts between tender and devastating, making you feel the weight of each decision they face. The pacing isn’t rushed; it allows for reflection, letting the audience sit with the emotions and fear.
