SYNOPSIS:

In the vibrant capital of Kinshasa, Zelia, a quiet and reserved young woman, struggles to find balance in a life marked by family responsibilities and constant tension with her strict aunt, Pauline, who has raised her since her mother’s passing.

Often criticized for her lack of ambition and easily influenced nature, Zelia is drawn into a night of adventure by her bold and carefree best friend, Fifi. Their evening begins in a trendy nightclub, where they embrace the energy of the night. But everything takes a turn when they meet Marc, a mysterious and charismatic man whose presence is both intriguing and unsettling.

As the night progresses, Marc invites Zelia and Fifi to continue the party elsewhere, leading them far from the city. Initially reluctant, Zelia gives in under Fifi’s insistence

The trio finds themselves in a dense and eerie forest, where the atmosphere shifts from excitement to sheer unease. What begins as an exhilarating escape quickly descends into a nightmare when they encounter hybrid creatures—part human, part beast—lurking in the darkness, controlled by an ancient and malevolent force.

Marc reveals a darker side, oscillating between seduction and menace, and as the night unfolds, Zelia is forced to confront her deepest fears. Trapped in an unfamiliar and terrifying realm, she must navigate not only the supernatural dangers that surround them but also the growing tension with Fifi, whose reckless nature puts them both at risk. Between betrayal, loyalty, and survival, Zelia faces an impossible choice: succumb to Marc’s influence and embrace the unknown or fight to break free and return to reality before it’s too late.

The Tales of Zelia is an intense psychological thriller infused with supernatural elements, where friendship, choice, and the confrontation with the unknown push the characters to their absolute limits
