Inspired by real-life events, in the Oyo Empire of the 1940s, King Elesin Oba's chief horseman, Suleiman, succumbs to the allure of beauty and sexual desire on the very night he is set to die. In an attempt to fulfill his lifelong vow of ritual suicide to accompany the deceased Alaafin to the realm of the ancestors, he derails from a very important generational and spiritual transaction. This sets off a chain of catastrophic consequences that are both heartwarming and heartbreaking, as we watch the unfolding of emotions, humor, and tragic role reversals. The film tests ancient beliefs and customs against the backdrop of an ever-evolving modern world, where tradition and modernity collide with each other.
