After a birthmark convinced his mother that he must be a sorcerer, Koffi was banished to Europe as a baby. Decades later, Koffi and his Belgian fiancée embark on a trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo. But an incident with his nephew convinces them that he’s possessed by an evil spirit.

In this visual and sensory feast, Belgian-Congolese filmmaker Baloji explores the conflicting expectations that arise from different notions of identity, culture, and heritage. Navigating a surreal, ever-changing world of myths, his mercurial outsiders strive to reconcile themselves with tradition.
