WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
Femi (Golding) is a young British-Nigerian boy living with his foster mother Mary (Black) in Lincolnshire, but when his birth mother (Ikumelo) comes to reclaim him, he is whisked away to his mother’s dingy London flat. As a teenager, Femi (Adewunmi) struggles to find his footing in the much harsher London environment…
IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
Shola Amoo’s second film as writer and director is a powerful coming-of-age story that takes inspiration from the filmmaker’s own experiences from growing up.
