Emotional Crack displays the major societal influences that essentially eradicate homosexuality, even the very mention of it, from the surface of the country’s culture. However, homosexuality is still there. Chudi and Crystal are married. However, Chudi, by beating and expecting her to remain in the house, follows a very traditional pressure that is often placed upon the male gender in Africa. When Chudi finds out that Crystal is homosexual he kicks her out of his home, despite being still married; leaving Crystal in a bad way with her family, who also shun her, and her partner who suddenly doesn't seem very interested.
