Diop's Cannes winner debuts on Netflix in November.
French actress Mati Diop makes her directorial debut with Atlantics, winner of the Grand Prix at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
Set in Senegal, Atlantics tells the story of a group of male workers who disappear at sea, only to return to their village as vengeance seeking ghosts.
The movie stars Mama Sané, Amadou Mbow, Ibrahima Traoré, Nicole Sougou, Amina Kane, Mariama Gassama, Coumba Dieng, Ibrahima Mbaye and Diankou Sembene.
Atlantics debuts on Netflix November 29th.
Check out the trailer below.
The official synopsis reads:
After a group of unpaid construction workers disappears at sea one night in search of a better life abroad, the women they have left behind in Dakar are overwhelmed with a mysterious fever. Ada, 17, secretly grieves for her love Souleiman, one of the departed workers, but she has been promised to another man. After a fire breaks out on her wedding night, a young policeman is sent to investigate the crime. Little does he know that the aggrieved workers have come back as haunting, possessive spirits. While many of them seek vengeance for their unpaid labour, Souleiman has come back for a different purpose — to be with his Ada one last time.
