Masquerade
Egúngún
A queer woman returns to her home in Lagos in search of healing, where she discovers a new understanding of the people and experiences that shaped her.
Praised at Sundance, Toronto and London, UK-based Nigerian writer/director Olive Nwosu’s film is an intimate and revealing portrait of a Nigerian-born woman who returns to her hometown, only to feel like a foreigner. A sensitive evocation of queer longing, lost love and paths cut short.
