Sous le signe du vaudou (English: 'Under the Sign of Vodoo') is a Beninese film directed by Pascal Abikanlou[1] and released in 1974. It is the director's first feature film,[2] as well as Benin's first fiction feature film.[3] [4] [5] [6] In color, it was shot in 16 mm, then expanded to 35 mm.
A young man neglects the ritual offerings to the voodoo deities and invokes their anger. His family suffers the consequences: house burned, crops destroyed. He leaves for the city to try to help them, but finds himself caught up in drugs. He ends up meeting a young girl who encourages him to return to the village. They marry in the voodoo tradition and the curse is lifted.
