“A heartbreaking reflection on father-son relationships and a nation on the cusp of change.”
—The Hollywood Reporter

“A vibrant, deeply felt love letter to Lagos, written in blood.”
—Indiewire

“With great tenderness, Davies imagines such dreams, memories, and even cinema itself as a portal through which we might resume communion and honour what could have been.”
—Sight & Sound

The BAFTA award-winning debut feature from British-Nigerian director Akinola Davies Jr. vividly melds autobiographical reminiscences with turbulent historical context as we witness a family’s journey to Lagos with the backdrop of a historic election in 1993. The story, which was written by the director’s brother Wale, shows us the events through the not-quite-comprehending eyes of two brothers, uncertain why their father is taking them on this unexpected trip. Throughout, an understanding dawns for the boys (and the viewer) of the meaning and significance of the events. Free Member Monday — free admission for all AFS members on Monday, May 11.
