Pamela Adie

Ìfé and Adaora fall in love over a 3-day date, but will their love withstand the realities of being lesbian in Nigeria?

ìfé: (The Sequel) picks up from the events of the first film, with two women, Ife and Adaora, crossing paths again, years apart from their past passionate dalliance. Adaora has settled comfortably into domestic life with her husband, while Ife found love in South Africa. However, all of this threatens to fall apart when the pair reconnect unexpectedly at a Lagos book store. The film unfolds as an exploration of love, choice, and identity in Nigeria. It is an intimate and political look at the universal longing for connection and the courage it takes to live authentically.

A Nigerian lesbian narrates her journey of self-discovery. As she takes us through her experiences, we see first-hand what it is to be homosexual in an unforgivingly homophobic society, and the total alienation that can come from being despised, ostracized and ridiculed by the ones you love. This is a story of rejection and loss, but also the powerful story of the triumph that comes with love.
