Stellar Performances:
The film boasts compelling performances, with Stan Nze’s portrayal of Afamefuna and Atlanta Bridget Johnson as Amaka capturing hearts. Their chemistry, alongside Alex Ekubo’s multifaceted depiction of Paul and Kanayo O. Kanayo’s iconic role as Odogwu, elevates the narrative. Their acts breathe life into the story’s emotional and cultural complexities.
