IF you are a great fan of very good Nollywood storyline movies, with loads of lessons, then you might want to try this movie, the movie talked about a daughter and her mother trying to amend a lost relationship for over 13 years.

This was a simple Nollywood drama movie, that taught me loads of lessons, most times we don’t know what our parents go through to raise us, we also don’t know nor understand why they made some decisions when we were little, hence we use that to judge them and despise them. Amaka went through a terrible childhood that made her despise her mum so much, to the point of not inviting her to her wedding. So Amaka got married to the love of her life and had a beautiful baby girl, she had and her husband managed sleepless nights with no help with the baby till, he had to travel out of town for work. Her husband spoke to her about inviting her mother to come over, after so much conviction, she decided to give it a try. This was one of the most difficult decisions of her life as she hadn’t seen her mother nor lived with her for over 13 years, they quarrelled and argued over every little thing, this put a toll on their relationship in the house, as Amaka was so bitter with her mum for leaving her, little did she know why her mother made that decision decades ago. Well, you will need to watch the entire movie to see how they survived in the same house for months and if they were able to settle their scores.
