Fantastique

Fantastique is a magic-realistic coming-of-age in Guinea-Conakry. We follow the 14-year-old contortionist Fanta, who juggles between care for her ailing mother, school, and what she loves the most: Training with the acrobatic circus Amoukanama, with the hopes of joining their next big tour. Trying to bridge all expectations, Fanta starts to doubt what she really wants, searching for her own voice.
