Plot: (from The New York Times)
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 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.
Lesbian content:
The two girls are just friends as the plot description says, but it's pretty obvious that the director of this movie would have liked to portray them as being lovers instead, but was prevented to do so probably because it would have been too controversial. There's a lot of teasing going on between the two girls though, and they take every opportunity to check out each other's bodies. There's also a scene where one of the girls kisses the other one's neck.
