Adire
2023, English. Directed by Adeoluwa Owu.
A retired sex worker on the run, moves to a small town and starts a lingerie-making business (made from her signature adire material) which inevitably empowers the conservative women. Only to anger the self instilled leader, the deaconess and wife to the preacher of the town's local church. She soon discovers the most unusual friendships and love in the unlikeliest of places. Her paradise is cut short by Captain, her former pimp whose money she stole to start a new life.
