After spending years in Belgium, a young Congolese man returns to his birthplace of Kinshasa to confront the intricacies of his family and 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.
