The death of her mother determs a young lady, living in london, to return to Lagos, her hometown. The funeral of venerable woman, a familiar silhouette are ingredients for a form of return to past. She encounters her first love, married today, she is prisoner of memories, happy and less happy and discover the ways of happiness for her and for her girlfriend from childhood, maid of her mother.

The beauty of this short film has not a precise source. Off course, the look and the acting of main actresses, the dialogue, the tension, cinematography and slices of early romance and the encounter after years are precious but I feel it like a sort of ...scent. And I loved for precise - gentle manner to explore a profound sensitive subject in just fair - honest way.
