A woman with sickle-cell disease.

Sinekatalog’s take

Tunde Kelani's drama follows a young woman living with sickle-cell disease and her struggle for love and acceptance in Nigeria. Well-meaning and sincere in raising awareness, it is a modest, earnest film hampered by melodrama.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
