Logline
At a Catholic boarding school in Cameroon, three girls left alone over the summer holidays awaken the legend of Madame KOI KOI—a ghost in glossy red heels who, with every echoing step in the corridor, turns fear into possession.
Synopsis
School year 2025. The mission-school dormitory is nearly deserted: only three Cameroonian students remain. On silent nights, the sound of high heels travels down the corridors and stops outside Room 17. Searching for answers, the girls recall a legend from 1965: it tells of a teacher who always wore elegant red high heels and was nicknamed “Madame Koi Koi” by the students for the sound her shoes made as she walked. They mocked her so cruelly that, in a night of despair, she hanged herself. Since then, the legend says, Madame returns every ten years to claim a soul. Who will be her next one?
