'The Vigil': To Believe or Not to Believe?
If you mix religious rituals with dark mythology, the result will be effective, and the story powerful in 90% of the cases. That is exactly what happens at the beginning of The Vigil.
Three Scoundrels
On their ladyfriends' insistence, their "Tchiza", three friends go on an extramarital trip out of Ouagadougou, a fake mission to Abidjan being the perfect alibi. But it all goes downhill when they learn that the plane they should have been in has crashed down. How can they come back home when they're supposed to be dead? Their wives' vengeance will burn the ground they walk on.
