A young widow, still in mourning, is propositioned by her late husband's brother. When she refuses his advances, he threatens to have her ousted from her husband's home. She would have to reconcile her personal convictions and Catholic belief with her in-law's demands.
Coming Soon
In a pre-colonial Igbo society, the warrior chief Obidike and the young maiden Ekemma share a deep love that proves impossible, as it goes against tradition– Obidike has been betrothed to another since birth. When the pressure mounts and they are left with no choice but to part ways, they vow not to let anything come between them if they ever walked the earth again. Set against the picturesque landscape of Enugu, the story turns to the present day, where they have reincarnated as two men: Obidike’s reincarnation is a Nigerian-Italian photographer, while Ekemma is reborn as a Catholic priest-in-waiting. Bound by that ancient oath, they navigate their intense connection, while the photographer grapples with the conflict between his growing feelings for the priest and his commitment to his clerical aspirations. Furthermore, their relationship faces the challenge of being taboo in Nigeria, where homosexuality is widely rejected, adding a painful complexity to their journey, echoing the struggle of their past lives.
