About the Film

In this musical drama, Charity, a young Nigerian woman beaten and hardened by life in a Lagos slum, leaves for illegal sex work in Europe along with her younger sister, Happy, in pursuit of her dream of becoming rich. Happy, whom Charity ruthlessly initiates into the world of prostitution, resists her fate, jeopardizing Charity's dream. Together with other undocumented women, they endure day-to-day hardships, exploitation, and humiliation with resilience and song. One day, it all becomes too much, and they revolt, singing their fury from the rooftops.
