Asema
Loëlle Monsanto
As Deon spends his summer vacation at his grandma’s, he has an encounter with a mysterious elderly woman who has recently moved into the neighborhood. She alerts the local children of an “asema” haunting the vicinity. Driven by curiosity, Deon and his best friend Jimmy go on a quest to uncover the truth about this legendary creature. Are the warnings merely the ramblings of a crazy old woman, or could she herself be the “asema”?
