Fola (a magnetic Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù) is an enigmatic figure in his sons’ lives. As they traverse Lagos, Remi and Akin (real-life brothers Chibuike Marvellous and Godwin Egbo) begin to understand him as a person, and the sacrifices he has made for them.

But as Nigeria’s presidential election results loom, events transpire that will dramatically change their relationship with him.

This preview is presented with the 69th BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express
