Whilst their mother is away in the village, young Nigerian bothers Remi and Akin are taken by surprise when their often-absent father Folarin arrives home.
Their surprise turns into excitement when Folarin suggests that the brothers accompany him to Lagos for the day, as he needs to collect a long-overdue salary. The trip becomes a journey of discovery for the boys as they spend time with their father and become more aware of their country’s political unrest.
My Father’s Shadow is an extraordinary debut and a powerful, poetic piece of cinema.
