“TROIS PLATS FROID á ABIDJAN”

Traumatized by their past as sex trafficking victims, Esosa, Fatouma, and Giselle ascend to formidable heights in the shadowy realm of prostitution. Yet their newfound power cannot quiet the ghosts of their captors. On a vengeance-driven journey across West Africa, they hunt those who robbed them of their freedom.

Their quest leads them to Abidjan, with law enforcement closing in and their target fortified within the city’s stronghold. As the women grapple with their past and the risks ahead, they face a crossroads: seek closure or descend into a vortex of retaliation?

This intense thriller delves into the harsh realities of survival, resilience, and the desperate pursuit of justice. It’s a compelling tale of exploited women reclaiming their power, defying the system, and daring to strike back in a world that has abandoned them.

The fact that the perpetrators have very diverse profiles gives depth to this film which has a complex and intensely political theme; the forced prostitution of young girls in Africa.

points of view to unfold and thus does not become reductive. Also, by focusing on the world of prostitution, the film is a genre film that mixes the criminality of the networks with a form of sociological study. But what ties the narrative together is a story of friendship and solidarity that transcends the genre.

“3 Cold Dishes” is a heart-wrenching tale of redemption and empowerment that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats, rooting for these courageous women to emerge victorious in their battle against oppression and injustice.
