Atlantics

Atlantics is far from a conventional romance or migration drama; it is a haunting, poetic ghost story layered with profound social realism. The film beautifully blends genre elements—combining a star-crossed romance, a police procedural, and West African folklore regarding the djinn (spirits). The spirits of the drowned young men possess the bodies of their girlfriends at night, marching to the mansion of the corrupt billionaire developer who stole their wages to demand their money back.
