Eyimofe, directed by twin brothers Arie and Chuko Esiri, is also now airing on Warner Bros Discovery-owned US streaming platform HBO Max.

The movie follows the experiences of two strangers who are not even related as they each attempt to establish a new life in Europe while coming up against hard financial realities.

Temi Ami-Williams portrays a hairdresser who is helping her pregnant adolescent sister, while Jude Akuwudike plays an electrician suffering with the effects of a family tragedy.

Eyimofe made history in July 2021 when it became the first movie produced in Nigeria to be featured on the Criterion Collection, a grouping whose goal it is to acquire the best movies ever created and release them on DVD and Blu-ray. Over 1,000 movies are part of the renowned Criterion Collection.
