Two
fascinating women who use their
beauty to win the favors of powerful men come into contact with an
important
minister. When the man dies under compromising circumstances, a complex
plot is
unveiled that includes cut-off heads and women's secret
societies and involves
the destiny of an entire nation in turmoil. Sex for sale, corpses in
the
streets and corruption at the highest levels in a provocative,
political fanta-thriller
that takes place in Cameroon in 2025. "To
be a woman in Cameroon also means
having evil powers. Those who give life can also take it away. It is
the power of
Woman who, like the plants, knows the fluctuations of the seasons. She
bleeds
as though she was wounded and then she doesn't bleed anymore,
as though she had
been healed. She has the dizziness of life, she rises like the dawning day,
turns like the earth, she wonders what she is made of. Questions that
don't
interrupt the infernal cycle, the privileged dialog with
nature." ( J.P.
Bekolo)
