Adam and Lina may be brother and sister, but their constant fighting pushes their relationship to the breaking point. When Lina slips away from Adam’s supervision, he searches the city for her and encounters a mysterious man named Seydou, who offers the siblings something extraordinary — the chance for each of them to have a wish granted. What follows is a moving and imaginative journey that explores family, conflict, desire, and the unexpected consequences of what we wish for most. Blending fantasy with emotional realism, The Genie crafts a heartfelt story about sibling bonds, childhood vulnerability, and the power of human connection. Rich in atmosphere and layered with magical undertones, the film balances wonder with emotional depth. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Enricka M.H., whose previous films La K-Z and Dorlis earned widespread international recognition, The Genie further showcases her distinctive storytelling voice and ability to merge intimate human drama with striking cinematic imagination. The film received the Archibald McDonald Award for Best of GATFFEST, Best International Film, Best Screenplay, and Most Original/Creative, while also earning nominations for The Spirit of GATFFEST, Best Performance, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, and Best Directing.
