Overview
- The British-Nigerian director releases his first feature after a recent BAFTA win raised his profile.
- The story follows a father and his two sons on a single outing in Lagos as seen from the children’s eye level.
- The film is constructed as a memory that keeps the director’s late father present despite his death when Davies was two.
- Set in 1993, the family journey plays out against an election crisis that ends with a military coup in Nigeria.
- Actor Sope Dirisu portrays the father as charismatic and sensitive without turning him into an idealized figure.
