Project Detail

Veronique

Synopsis

Veronique, the cool French actress from Paris, is the girlfriend of our 'hero' boy. Every morning they meet on the bus on their way to school and as the days pass by their relationship grows stronger and stronger. Or at least that is what the boy tells his best friend. The film is about the innocence of love, when a person has a crush on someone they have never even met. When we are young these moments can be so important to us because they can act as a substitute before we experience our first 'real' relationship. It's about how it is to daydream and to fall in love. Even if it's only for a week or two.

Baby dons a fluorescent pink wig and an unflinching smile on her socials, selling an airbrushed life in Europe to entice young Nigerian girls. Behind the filtered posts lies a more harrowing truth: Baby is trapped in a network of sex trafficking, surviving by enforcing the very system that once consumed her. Past rituals inflicted on the girls not only keep their bodies imprisoned, but also their minds, believing their silence and subservience dilutes their cursed lives. But, when someone from Baby's past becomes the newest recruit, Baby's carefully constructed world crumbles. Baby is confronted with guilt, complicity, and the crushing weight of unfulfilled dreams.
