Storyline

East West Love centres on Tito, a meticulous, self-made Lagos-based event planner and entrepreneur whose life is upended when she discovers that her boyfriend and business partner, Chude, is being unfaithful. Seeking an escape from the crushing weight of a shattered heart, she is convinced by her carefree best friend to turn a planned getaway into a healing girls' trip to the beautiful, sun-drenched coastal city of Mombasa, Kenya. What starts as a simple refuge from heartbreak quickly transforms into a journey of self-discovery, cultural connection, and a sweet, unexpected second chance at love when she crosses paths with a charming local tour guide named Juma.
