SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

F\u00e9licit\u00e9 is a proud, free-willed woman working as a singer in a bar in Kinshasa. Her life is thrown into turmoil when her 14-year old son falls victim to an accident. To save him, she sets out on a breakneck race through the streets of electric Kinshasa \u2013 a world of music and dreams where she\u2019ll cross paths with Tabu\u2026
In his latest feature Senegalese director Alain Gomis is “weaving a sensual, sometimes hopeful, sometimes disturbing urban tapestry with threads of image, sound, poetry, and song [\u2026] In the title role, Congolese singer-turned-actress V\u00e9ro Tshanda Beya proves entirely mesmerizing from the moment the camera alights on her strong-featured, deep-gazing face, sometimes shading entire histories of dismissal, disappointment, and ongoing resistance into a single expression. The film\u2019s jangling, diverse musical soundtrack practically functions as a screenplay in itself, charting F\u00e9licit\u00e9\u2019s shifting states of mind as it leaps from the Kasai Allstars\u2019 breathless modern fusion of indigenous and international rock to the sober grace of the Kinshasa Symphonic Orchestra\u2019s spin on Arvo P\u00e4rt.” (Guy Lodge, Variety) F\u00c9LICIT\u00c9 won the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize at the 2017 Berlin Film Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
