Bambino is a motorcycle deliveryman in Lagos. He is often visited by Ifeyinwa, a young woman neighbor, who desires knowledge and raids his small library. She is rather hot on him, but he is unmoved. Meanwhile, her mother warns Bambino that her constant visits are creating gossip, since she is engaged to another man. (From the constant verbal battles of a neighboring couple, pre-arranged marriages are common.)
On one of his deliveries, he meets Bawa, the owner of the local betting shop, who has an interest in photography. Bawa convinces Bambino to take him to different parts f the city for photo shoots. Bawa gradually wants more than friendship, but Bambino is aware that this is a homophobic society, who also has quick vigilante "justice".
I saw this in-person at the Inside Out film festival, and after the screening 4 of us were still trying to decipher the film. One scene seemed to appear out of nowhere, and another had us confused over a weeping participant.
