Beautiful magical realism full of queerness and shape shifting, a crash between the spirits and powers of traditional folklore, the modern city, and the folklore and mystical elements of Lagos and it's queer and gender non-conforming folk and women.
Like a fairytale at times, at others like a slapstick slice of modern life and the ways people cross paths in community. Lots of silly moments, but also serious philosophy on the divine and gender.
