Chocolat
Drama
On her way to visit her childhood home in a colonial outpost in Northern Cameroon, a young French woman recalls her childhood, her memories concentrating on her family's houseboy.
VIBE
A lush, evocative drama steeped in the humid air of colonial Africa. It's a film that lingers, exploring the complex, unspoken desires and lingering shadows of memory with a deeply sensual and melancholic touch.
