Loving Daniella

2019 · 80 min · Drama

Efe and Daniella’s marriage is a profoundly unique union that exhibits the perfect example of “unconditional love” or does it? Daniella is a beautifully alluring young woman who has a borderline mental condition that subjects her to frequent episodes which makes her behave like a 7yr old child. Filmed on locations in Lagos (Nigeria) Las Vegas (USA) and Antigua (Caribbean Island); this is a fascinating tale of romance, love, passion and of a couple’s struggles with an “embarrassing” mental illness.

As a young man, director Ike Nnaebue left Nigeria intending to take the route via Benin, Mali, and Mauritania to Morocco - but he was forced to turn back earlier, and never made it to Europe. In his first documentary, No U-Turn, he retraces the life-changing journey he made over 20 years ago. Along the way, he meets those who are taking the same trip and, through conversations with them, tries to understand what motivates young people today to expose themselves to the dangers of a passage into an uncertain future. Most are aware of the dangers of traveling undocumented by road, yet more and more are joining the ranks of those who take this risk. Overlaid with a powerful poetic commentary and insight into the long-reaching impact of a colonial past, this self-reflective travelogue unpacks the deep longing of an entire generation in search of opportunities.
