My Father’s Shadow (LUXFILMFEST)
In Lagos, 1993, while Nigeria is in the throes of a deep political crisis, Akin and Remi — two young brothers — spend a rare and precious day with their father, Folarin. Through the children’s eyes, the city unfolds in all of its complexity: urban bustle, social tensions, fragile hopes. Through journeys, silences, and moments of connection, this intimate interlude gradually reveals the sacrifices, contradictions, and tenderness of a father trying to protect his sons in an unstable world. With great delicacy, this debut feature captures the density of a single day lived as a journey, attending closely to sensations, fleeting emotions, and the world as seen through children’s eyes.
