Zombi Child
Directed by Bertrand Bonello
Produced by Les Films du Bal, Playtime
A haunting dual-timeline meditation on voodoo, colonial trauma, and the dangerous power of secrets, blending supernatural horror with intimate teenage drama.
Haiti, 1962: A man is brought back from the dead only to be sent to the living hell of the sugarcane fields. In Paris, 55 years later, at the prestigious Légion d’honneur boarding school, a Haitian girl confesses an old family secret to a group of new friends - never imagining that this strange tale will convince a heartbroken classmate to do the unthinkable.
