Drama

Film Synopsis

Yaoundé, Cameroon in the year 2025.  So desperate is she to win a public works contract that Majolie offers to spend a night of passion with the General Secretary of Public Works, a man old enough to be her grandfather.  The evening of passionate lovemaking does not go quite as planned and before it is over Majolie finds herself in bed with a corpse - the lecherous oldster clearly wasn't as robust as he appeared.  With the help of her best friend Chouchou, the unfortunate young woman must now find a way to dispose of the body - not so easy an enterprise when the only tools at your disposal are your feminine assets and an ability to talk your way out of trouble.  Majolie's adventures are only just beginning...
