Really good short film. Brilliant cinematography and direction. A must watch for independent filmmakers!
Completely agree with Ade, one of the best short films I’ve seen from Nigeria. Well crafted story, good pace, brilliant character arcs and an ending to leave you pained and pleasured at the same time.
