A bright insight on the plight of the average Nigerian woman back then… And an amazing love story that makes you wish you experienced it yourself … A bittersweet ending but that’s life right
Perfect

This has to be one of the greatest movie I’ve ever seen. While the cast was so brilliant and powerful what truly blew me away was the use of perfect and accurate props and costume. As an aspiring costumer, this movie has really challenged me to up my game and I love a challenge. I love this movie so much it’s a 10/10 for meShow more
