About This Movie

Beleh, from 2013, offers a unique take on gender roles through the lens of a Cameroonian village. The film’s tone is light yet thought-provoking, blending comedy and drama with a touch of surrealism. Ekema’s experience as a pregnant man gives a fresh perspective on his wife Joffi's struggles, creating moments that are both humorous and poignant. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the overall charm, as we see Ekema grapple with newfound emotions. Performances are solid, capturing the essence of cultural norms and the comedy of misunderstandings. It's a distinctive exploration of empathy and gender, with a narrative twist that keeps you thinking long after the credits roll.
