Storyline
The story follows Alechenu, a vulnerable 13-year-old autistic boy living in a rural village in Oyo State. Despite being deeply loved by his local community, who look out for him because he is "special", Alechenu struggles with the profound, lingering ache of maternal abandonment. He has never known his mother, but he possesses three items that anchor his existence: a single photograph, his birth certificate, and an unwavering hope. Ultimately, the movie presents an emotional quest for identity, acceptance, and the true meaning of home.
