White Material

An unnamed African country torn by a rebellion. In a rural province, birthplace of one of the rebel chiefs, Maria, a fierce and fearless white woman, refuses to abandon her coffee crops, or to acknowledge the danger to which she is exposing her family. For Maria, to leave is to surrender: a sign of weakness, of cowardice. André - her ex-husband and father of their teenage son - is frightened by her blind, stubborn pride. Without her knowing, he resolves to arrange the family's escape to France. He has married again, a young African woman with whom he has a son, and for them, he will stop at nothing. Not even at betraying Maria by placing her destiny in the hands of the local mayor, a man he believes to be his friend. André is not aware that the mayor is involved in the conflict. Neither Maria nor André suspect that the plantation itself is the refuge for a rebel officer, a desperate man with a heavy price on his head. Nor that a small army of lawless child soldiers is hiding in the dense jungle that surrounds them on all sides. Wild Bunch
