CONTRACT 

Starring: Homla Dandala, Yvonne Okoro and Joseph Benjamin

Directed by: Shirley Frimpong-Manso

Genre: Romantic Comedy

SYNOPSIS: Successful businessman Peter Popolampo (Homla Dandala, Jacobs Cross) is the ultimate alpha male. He is 40, rich, and a staunch bachelor. Despite his mother’s persistent attempts to find him a woman, Peter sticks to his rule of non-committal casual dates, freedom and controlling his life until a yearning to have a child arises. In his quest to find a woman who will sign a contract to have his child, Peter begins a roller coaster, contracted relationship with Abena Boateng (Yvonne Okoro), a crude but clever local girl who is anything but impressed with Peter’s affluence. With a clear definitive contract outlining the dos and don’ts of bearing Peter Popolampo’s child, these two opposites must exercise every ounce of will power not to kill each other until the child is born. This is a funny romantic comedy with unusual twists.

PHONE SWAP

Directed By: Kunle Afolayan

Genre: Romantic Comedy

SYNOPSIS: Akin (Wale Ojo) and Mary (Nse Ikpe Etim) bump into each other at an airport where they mistakenly swap their identical Blackberry phones. This leads to a destination mix up after they receive one another’s text regarding the travel destination. Consequently, Akin ends up traveling to where Mary is supposed to go and vice versa. Neither knows about the swap until they have reached their opposite destinations. They both struggle to adapt to their alien environment and situation producing hilarious results.
