My Father´s Shadow
Akinola Davies Jr. / Nigeria, United Kingdom 2025 / 94 min. / DCP
Two brothers grow up in a small village near Lagos. When their father returns home after a long time, they sense that something urgent is going on. The Nigeria of the 1990s is brimming with rising tension after contested elections. An ordinary day turns into a rite of passage and an encounter with history… My Father’s Shadow offers both tender and serious glimpses of a lost childhood that never happened.
