Winner of the BAFTA Award for Outstanding Debut, British Nigerian director Akinola Davies Jr’s first feature marks the arrival of a vital, bold new voice in world cinema. Starring Sope Dirisu in a career best performance, introducing the talented young brothers Godwin and Chibuike Egbo, and co-written with the director’s brother Wale Davies (inspired by a memory of their own father) – this is not only one of the most impressive debuts in decades but also one of the most remarkably assured, controlled and executed childhood perspective films in a generation, that carves an exciting new way forward for African set cinematic storytelling.
