Marie Madeleine

Set in Jacmel, Haiti, this upcoming drama explores the intersection of faith and desire within a community influenced by spirits and the church. The story follows Marie Madeleine, a sex worker who lives independently of religious constraints. Her life changes when she meets Joseph, a young evangelist.

The film is written and directed by Gessica Généus, who also stars in the title role as Marie Madeleine. The cast includes Béonard Monteau as Joseph, alongside Edouard Baptiste, Mélissa Mildort, Ginou Jules, and Eder Romeus. A multinational production, the project involves companies from Belgium, Haiti, Canada, Luxembourg, and France. Producers include Jean-Marie Gigon, Gessica Généus, and Anton Iffland Stettner. The movie has a runtime of 104 minutes and is scheduled for release on October 21, 2026.
