Synopsis

Following Darrel, a Nigerian-British father, as he navigates the challenges of caring for his old-aged Nigerian father, Onwu, and his infant son, Teli. When Onwu needs to buy plane tickets to Nigeria, Darrel arrives at his father's house to help him access his bank information.
However, as Darrel juggles gathering Teli and assisting Onwu, he finds himself on hold and struggling to get through security questions with the bank tellers on the phone. Amidst the chaos, cultural clashes and comedic mishaps ensue, highlighting the absurdity of their generational divide.
Through laughter and heartfelt moments, the film explores themes of family, cultural identity, and the evolving definition of fatherhood in a multicultural society.
