Breakdown
OUR LADY OF KIBEHO: In 1981, a village girl in Rwanda claims to see the Virgin Mary. Ostracized by her schoolmates and labeled disturbed, everyone refuses to believe, until the impossible starts happening again and again. Skepticism gives way to fear, faith, and fate, causing upheaval in the school community and beyond.
SEEKING:
ALPHONSINE MUMUREKE
Female, 16 year old Rwandese girl. Stands out in a crowd, but not always for the right reasons; a quiet challenger who finds strength in vulnerability - a remarkable beauty, though insecure. Her cultural name means Leave her alone, she speaks the truth.”
ANATHALIE MUKAMAZIMPAKA
Female, 17 year old Rwandese girl. A good Catholic girl with an itch to be a guilty girl. Sweet, studious and devout, with a wicked sense of humor. Her cultural name means one who settles arguments and brings peace. (note: this actress also needs speaks perfect Italian in one scene - skill with dialect needed)
MARIE-CLARE MUKANGANGO
Female, 21 year old Rwandese young woman. Boisterous, self-important, walks wide in the world - a Queen Bee type. Her cultural name means Woman.
FATHER TUYISHIME
Male, 30s-40s. Rwandese, head priest at the school. Immensely good looking, he has no problem inspiring crushes.
SISTER EVANGELIQUE
Female, 30s-50s. Rwandese, the head nun of the school. She is not an easy woman—she should be the head of the school and she acts like it.
