Overview
Spiritual beliefs conflict with inter-generational tensions in a matriarchal ocean village where the West African water deity Mami Wata reigns. When the harmony of the village is threatened, two sisters fight to restore order. C.J. Obasi’s third feature, a winner at Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, cements his position at the forefront of a new wave of Nigerian filmmaking.
