Two streetwise women are sent on a strange odyssey through a decaying
society in this offbeat sci-fi comedy, set in a fictional African nation
in the year 2025. Majolie (Adèle Ado) is an ambitious prostitute whose
clients include a handful of prominent politicians, and one evening's
assignment with the secretary general of the Civil Cabinet (Balthazar
Amadagoleda) becomes problematic when he dies in flagrante delicto.
Needing to get rid of the body, and fast, Majolie calls on her best
friend, Chouchou (Dorylia Calmel), for help. Disposing of the secretary
general's remains sends Majolie and Chouchou on a strange ride through
the sordid underbelly of the city as they discover a variety of people
looking for a way to turn the streetwalker's poor fortune to their
advantage, including a crooked politician, a Machiavellian taxi driver, a
handful of street people, and an underground society of covertly
powerful women.
