Summary: Queen of the ‘Hood is a proud young girl who doesn’t want to be taken advantage of by men. She befriends a local sorceress who helps her enter the body of a young man, My Guy, so she can discover for herself the real “sexual politics” of the quarter. Meanwhile, the sorceress assumes the shape of Panka, a familiar comic figure in Cameroonian folklore with sexual powers. In this sex farce, women’s wisdom and “witchcraft” help to temporarily regain the balance of power in a sexist world.
