Synopsis
Spoiler shield
This film, the first ever Nigerian-Norwegian co-production, tells the story of Ose, a young Nigerian woman who decides to pursue her dream career as a filmmaker in Norway. Torn between two worlds, with family issues at home and problems settling in, Ose meets the strange, half-blind owner of a quaint coffee shop that serves the best coffee in the world and begins to find the most unexpected answers to her problems.
