Storyline

The film digs into deep-seated marital friction and past betrayals, including Mma's painful confrontation with Abuoma over being denied her formal wedding bride price. Amidst the emotional distance and financial hardships of living in Lagos, Mma holds onto one profound, burning wish she desperately wants to fulfill for their young daughter. Centered around the heavy question, "If you could have an encounter with your younger self or your future self… what would be your excuse for not trying?", the film follows their journey toward reconciliation, hope, and survival against all odds.
