  • Full Length
  • Drama

Adiaha Ufot, the queer first-born daughter to Abasiama and Disciple Ufot, is both conduit of her rich culture and fulfiller of the legacy of the Nigerian dream. 

Adiaha, steeped in the depth of her parents’ sacrifice, wants nothing more than to make her parents proud. However, holding their history and balancing her present is proving untenable. 

Forced into a corner, Adiaha must choose. Will she uphold the desires of her parents and settle with a traditional Nigerian man? Or will she self-determine and pick her own love-match? Fortunately for her, she is not alone. The ancestors push her into discovering buried truths and help Adiaha finally find her true north.
