Chisom wakes up in a deserted building, surrounded by luscious vegetation, not knowing if she’s dead or alive. The wandering spirit of Nkechi makes Chisom the recipient of her family’s traumatic fate. Ugochukwu Azuya directs this immersive ghost story, shot with exuberance and filled with the nightmarish echoes of the Nigerian Civil War.
