Synopsis
Twenty-seven-year-old Mauricette Bonnarien works as a docker at the port of Dégrad des Cannes in French Guiana. The rest of the time, she slams. Conflicted about her family name ("Good-for-nothing"), imposed on her ancestor when slavery was abolished, she is fighting to complete a name change procedure. It's time to make her new surname heard by those around her.

Terror, Sisters!, by Alexis Langlois
2055. Steevyshady, an overly botoxed Youtuber tells their idol’s mad destiny: we follow pop diva singer Mimi Madamour from the very peak of her career in 2005, all the way down to the pits of hell, a downfall brought about by her love story with punk icon Billie Kohler. For half a century these drama queens have sung their passion and their rage high upon a stage.
🤩 Alexis Langlois is currently presenting his first feature film, Queens Of Drama, at Cannes (Semaine de la Critique).
