Synopsis

Over the course of a single day’s journey into and around Lagos, Folarin and his young sons, Akin and Remi, reckon with their relationship while navigating a city on the precipice of democratic crisis. As details of Folarin’s life emerge, the strain in their connection becomes increasingly clear.

Editorial

The first Nigerian film ever to screen in Official Selection at Cannes, this prizewinning debut feature from Akinola Davies Jr. is steeped in feeling and lyrical imagery. Bathing the father-son bond in a tender glow, this vibrant coming-of-age tale gathers up precious things amid political tumult.
