Ayodele, owner of a Nigerian restaurant in Brooklyn, weds his fiancée, Adenike, and the couple start a new life together. Their traditional Yoruba wedding culminates in a ceremony where Adenike is named for her yet-to-be-conceived son, George. But as the months pass without pregnancy, Ma George is torn between her Yoruba culture and her new American life, as she faces uncomfortable choices in her struggle to save her marriage. This is a beautifully shot, astonishingly radiant portrait of Nigerian immigrant family life.
