OPENING NIGHT: I DO NOT COME TO YOU BY CHANCE
Based on Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani's best seller I Do Not Come to You by Chance, the film tells the story of Kingsley, a first-born son, who struggles to provide for his beloved family when his ailing father's income dwindles.
Possessed of a fine mind but poorly connected in the Nigerian job market, Kingsley takes a job working for his notorious uncle, Cash Daddy, the larger-than- life mastermind of a thousand email scams.
As Kingsley falls reluctantly under his mentor's spell, he discovers his own innate flair for the art of the confidence trick.
