Guided by Vestine, an extravagant star of radio nights, the film discovers rwandan sexuality in search of the water that gushes out the female body and reveals with humor and spontaneity the mystery of female ejaculation.

Sacred Water confronts the western viewer with its own intimacy and immerses you into a modern Rwanda rediscovering its heritage in the most secret way: female pleasure.

A film by Olivier JOURDAIN

2016, Belgium / Rwanda, Documentary, 55 mins // HD, OV Kinyarwanda - subs EN/FR/NL/ES



"Sacred Water is a respectful ode to female pleasure, with a sense of humor and not a trace of embarrassment."
- IDFA 2016
