Democratic Republic of the Congo | 2023 | 92' | 15 | Baolji | Marc Zinga, Yves-Marina Gnahoua, Marcel Otete Kabeya

Mae Koffi (Marc Zinga) yn cael croesawiad oeraidd pan mae’n cyflwyno ei ddyweddi beichiog i’w deulu. Mae digwyddiad gyda’i nai yn eu hargyhoeddi ei fod wedi’i feddiannu gan ysbryd dieflig, ac wrth i Koffi geisio dod o hyd i’w hunan a dychwelyd at normalrwydd, mae’n dod ar draws byd ysbrydol rhyfedd sy’n ei arwain ar daith ysgytwol a phenfeddwol o wrthdaro gyda’i ddiwylliant.

Yn enillydd haeddiannol Gwobr Gweledigaeth Newydd Un Certain Regard Cannes, mae drama realaidd a hudol Baloji, a ffilm gyntaf y rapiwr, yn rhagorol.

Koffi (Marc Zinga) receives a frosty reception when he introduces his pregnant fiancé to his family. An incident with his nephew convinces them that he’s possessed by an evil spirit and as Koffi struggles to find himself and return to normality, he stumbles upon a bizarre spiritual world that takes him upon a dizzying collision course with his culture.

A deserving winner of Cannes’ Un Certain Regard New Vision Award, rapper-turned-filmmaker Baloji’s magical realist drama is a dazzling debut
