Atlantics, original title Atlantique, is a 2019 French/Senegalese drama set in Dakar and directed by Mati Diop.Ada is in love with Souleiman, an underpaid construction worker, but she is promised to marry a wealthy man, Omar, who she does not love. After unsuccessfully petitioning for the three months' unpaid wages they are owed, Souleiman and the boys (his construction crew) decide to sail to Spain to work there. Souleiman leaves without saying goodbye, leaving Ada distraught.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Then, a mysterious series of fires arises, and Issa, a young detective, is convinced Ada had something to do with it. And many people with a connection to her or the boys keep falling mysteriously ill.... Beware unmarked spoilers.Atlantics is at once an intimate romantic drama, a fairy tale, a detective story, and a politically charged indictment of class inequalities in Senegal.

Arranged Marriage: Ada has been arranged to marry Omar. Though her friends say she is lucky for the opportunity to rise in status by marrying a wealthy man, she is bitterly unhappy about it and only complies because her parents force her to, as she loves Souleiman.

The Bad Guys Are Cops: The police seem to mostly serve the rich rather than seeking justice or protecting people's rights. Also, in a twist, it turns out the person responsible for all the fires the police are investigating was actually Issa, the officer assigned to the case, while possessed by the ghost of the suspect.
