Souls across three continents must confront the darkness that guards the light they seek.

In a Memphis blues club, Man and Mena's encounter shatters reality, launching a supernatural odyssey across three continents where cultures collide with mystical forces.
The narrative weaves three interconnected stories.
A São Paulo executive, haunted by visions, abandons her corporate life after encountering the mysterious Friend. Returning to hometown, Salvador, she confronts her mother's ghost as the orixás blur into one terrifying, beautiful truth and ancient memories awaken within her.
In post-Katrina New Orleans, Man builds a life with Mena, a Marabout fleeing Senegal's oppressive government. When the malevolent Keeper threatens them, Mena must navigate reality's fractures alongside Mardi Gras Indians to save Man from consuming darkness.
Meanwhile, in riot-torn Dakar, lab worker Savior remains mysteriously untouched by chaos. Seeing universes in particles and destiny in his wife's eyes, he receives whispers from a Good Jinn about sacred baobab trees and a transformative calling.
"La Pyramide" pulses like jazz improvisation, fusing Memphis blues, Brazilian Candomblé rhythms, New Orleans brass, and Senegalese drums into an unstoppable crescendo. Four strangers discover they're vessels of something primordial-a quest where light demands passage through darkness, and pyramids are constructed not from stone but from souls reaching toward the infinite.

Director's Intention:
La Pyramide is inspired by my feature film, MAMI WATA - which took seven years of my life to make. It builds upon the foundations laid - a new vision of dark bodies on screen. A perspective of us by us that we rarely see, if ever depicted in African cinema or by any cinema. The goal here is to create a new way of seeing, and being.
I feel that we are all looking for something - even those of us "who do not believe". I think there is a seeking we inadvertently become a part of, for as long as we walk this Earth. For me, my walk is cinema - and as I walk, I will discover more and present my discoveries on screen. In La Pyramide - I will present what I have found, and I will celebrate what I have seen - a new way. It's a celebration!
