, director Kemi Adetiba masterfully weaves a tale of resilience, reinvention, and quiet rebellion. The film follows Sade, a former sex worker turned entrepreneur, who flees her tumultuous past to find solace in a sleepy Nigerian town. There, she crafts a new life through her lingerie business, transforming traditional adire fabric into bold statements of empowerment for the town's women. Her art becomes a beacon of liberation, challenging the rigid norms upheld by Deaconess Ireti, the self-righteous wife of the local preacher. As Sade's vibrant creations spark confidence among the townswomen, the story blossoms into a celebration of courage, self-expression, and unexpected solidarity in a community suffocated by convention.){kind=link}
