Fifty minutes in, a Shakespearean twinkle comes over this Ghanian romantic drama; having at first bunkered us into a luxury hotel with squabbling spouses Carl (Arion Amon) and Mimi (Araba Dansowaa) on their first wedding anniversary, three more couples show up to give us multiple variations on marital strife. With all parties sat fuming on the veranda over breakfast, director Shirley Frimpong-Manso is aiming to conduct a summit meeting of the sexes.
It’s just as well they arrive; they jazz up a dreary opening in which Carl and Mimi thrash out their differences under the eyes of proprietor Shirley (Nollywood veteran Rita Dominic). He wants a baby pronto, she wants to advance her career in Europe – and it’s not immediately clear what’s in it for Shirley, who has cleared the resort for them. On the verge of calling it quits, the pair call in reinforcements: influencer couple Jimmy and Akushika (Kojo Boakye and Jessica Larny), as well as Mimi’s cousin Toby (Dean Amegashie) and his ex-wife Laura (Adomaa Adjeman).
