"In the slums of Lagos, Rosa (Temiloluwa Ami-Williams) and Mofe (Jude Akuwudike) strive to better the lives of their struggling families, hoping to secure visas and seek new opportunities abroad. Yet both Mofe and Rosa's aspirations begin to crumble as a tragic circumstance claims each member of Mofe's family and Rosa fails to uphold her end of a critical bargain. As Rosa and Mofe contend with their guilt, they reconsider what opportunities may exist in Nigeria, looking to rebuild and strive for a fresh start without turning their backs on their home. Co-directed by Arie Esiri and Chuko Esiri."

116 min
A man and a woman in Lagos want to escape their everyday lives, but extricating themselves is no easy task. Two stories narrated with tenderness and restraint that only fleetingly touch, the dream of migrating to Europe floating above them all the while.
