    Fun and deeper than anticipated

    A well crafted story and an excellent addition to the new Nollywood wave. Gradually the movie reveals itself to be an allegory on taking risks and the journey to self discovery. It also maintains the ever present Nigerian theme of the wisdom of elderly. The lead actress's understated sarcasm and endearing but awkward interactions make the gradual journey of self reflection all the more magical. The ending really did it for me. Beautiful!
