After accidentally murdering a powerful politician during sex, best friends Majolie and Chouchou try to rise through society using their wits, wiles and the ancient feminine rites of Mevoungou. Described by director Jean-Pierre Bekolo as ‘the best African sci-fi political satire with homoerotic overtones you’ve ever seen’, The Bloodettes is a riotously inventive romp through dystopian Cameroon.

Contains flashing images and graphic violence, scenes of a sexual nature and scenes of sexual threat
