Malika is annoyed, first by the fact she has to drive a broken-down truck to deliver two coffins to the families of the respective deceased and, secondly, by the idiocy of her companion Hassan, who is supposed to be in charge of paperwork. It is only after they have arrived at the second house that Hassan admits he got the coffins confused and each family has the wrong body. Along with their idle intern, they have to sort out which matters more: the satisfaction of the living or the sanctity of the dead.

ROQIA
Director: Yanis Koussim
In 1993, a tragic car crash leaves Ahmed with amnesia. He returns to his home village where nothing seems familiar — even his family feel like strangers. His bandaged face terrifies his youngest child, while nocturnal visitors whispering litanies in an unknown language haunt him. Who are they? Why is Ahmed missing the index finger on his right hand? Why does his neighbor make him feel uncomfortable? In the present day, an aging Raqi (a Muslim exorcist) suffering from Alzheimer’s disease also has a missing index finger on his right hand that trembles ominously. With a surge of unexplained violence and the possessed speaking an unknown language, his devoted disciple fears an ancient evil will be unleashed.
