“One of the great finds of this year’s Cannes” – Steve Kopian, Unseen Films

After spending years in Belgium, Koffi (Marc Zinga), a young Congolese man, returns to his birthplace of Kinshasa to confront his family and homeland culture.

Secrecy and sorcery erupt when a nosebleed is mistaken for a curse, and Koffi is shunned from his family.

Using magical realism to paint a portrait of “undesirables” and “sorcerers,” Omen delves into the intricacies of identity, culture, and belief systems through a deeply rich and visually captivating lens.
