Road To Yesterday, a romantic thriller, trails a
couple desperate to mend a broken marriage on a road trip to a relative's
funeral. However, the journey itself throws up secrets from a distant past,
imperilling a lot more than just the marriage.
Genevieve Nnaji, who stars as the conflicted
wife, Victoria Udoka, called the closing night gala "an honour" as
she graced the red carpet in Lagos’ Genesis Deluxe Cinema alongside co-stars
Oris Erhuero, Chioma ‘Chigul’ Omeruah, and Ebele Okaro as well as the film's
director and co-writer Ishaya Bako.
Bako, whose series of highly acclaimed festival
favourites, including the award winning “Braids
on a Bald Head” said it is "amazing" to be given the honour to
close the festival.
He said: “AFRIFF is a very important part of our
industry. Nigerians are great producers of film so I’m thrilled that our movie
was given such an honour.”
Road to Yesterday was shot at locations across Lagos,
with a proudly Nigerian cast and crew that celebrate the depth of local
talent. With the support of Africa Magic, Road to Yesterday attains a
technical quality that speaks to the impressive potentials of homegrown
production.
Road to Yesterday opens in cinemas nationwide on
November 27.
