PLOT

However, Chioma must navigate the unique demands this relationship brings.
  • Uzor Arukwe as Chief Obiora: A highly confident and culturally proud, affluent man – a true ‘Odogwu Paranran’ in every sense. Although he reminds Chioma of her father, he remains resolute in his desire to marry her, even if it means travelling to Lagos to claim his ‘Achalugo’ (wife).

The sound design was also excellent, encompassing the soundtrack, dialogue, and ambient sounds. It effectively established a sense of place and atmosphere, enhancing the viewers’ connection with the story.

Costume: It is important to highlight the well-curated traditional attire and the sophisticated corporate wear worn by Chioma, both crucial in defining her character and role.

Budget: Filmed across two primary locations – the opulent house and vehicles representing Obiora’s wealth – the film’s budget was clearly evident in the production value.

Resolution: Chioma and Obiora ultimately confront their true feelings after Chioma takes a courageous step to overcome her anxieties.

A perfect blend of rich culture, comedy, romance, and career dynamics.
