Omugwo (2020)

CHIEF OBIDIKE (59), a titled man of his clan has just rounded off a session with his kinsmen, when a call from his daughter ADAORA (27) comes in to alert him of her successful child delivery. Full of excitement, he inquires about their health and she is quick to respond that all is well with mother and child. With her mother and mother-in-law late, and her husband stuck oversees, she enlists the help of UDO (32) her best friend to support her through the hay days of motherhood. Unfortunately, Udo backs out last minute, citing a new appointment in the office which requires her urgent attention. Adaora is left to navigate motherhood alone, and the process is draining. She calls the only family she has left- her father, to come to her rescue but he ridicules her request and so do the elders at court with him. Saddled between meeting societal expectations, and helping his only child, Chief Obidike decides to attend to traditional duties. When Baby blues set in, he is forced to make his intended short visit an extended natal care experience. This experience would reveal new sides of Chief Obidike.
