Within the confines of a colonial brothel in 1930s Morocco, Oum El Hassen, a madame turned serial killer, navigates a delicate path of power and complicity. As the fragile order of her world crumbles, she must confront the cost of survival in a system that both sustains and consumes her.

Inspired by historical accounts and urban legends, The Ogress of Fez blends horror, folklore, and history into a chilling exploration of justice, vengeance, and the ghosts of empire.
