Noela Rukundo was happily living life with her eight children and husband Balenga in a suburb of Melbourne, Australia. As a refugee from Burundi, she thought that she had left her problems behind. Unfortunately though, her step mother passed away, and she traveled back to Burundi to attend the funeral. After a draining ceremony, Noela went back to her hotel, only to find that her problems in Burundi were far from over.
