Dear Ajayi
Why we love it ❤️
Two sisters who have not spoken in years getting forced back under one roof is a setup that hits immediately, and the tension between Bimbo Akintola and Tosin Adeyemi is felt in every scene. This is the kind of family drama where nobody is fully right or fully wrong, they are just two women shaped by the same house and the same pain in completely different ways. Watching old resentment sit next to real love is uncomfortable in the best way. The 1990s Nigeria setting gives the whole story so much texture and specificity. If sister dynamics that are messy, loving, and complicated all at once get you every time, this one is going to hit close to home.
What is Dear Ajayi about?
Dear Ajayi takes place in 1990s Nigeria and is about two estranged sisters, played by Bimbo Akintola and Tosin Adeyemi, who are forced to share a home while caring for their paralyzed mother. Years of distance and unresolved tension resurface as the sisters spend more time under one roof. Lanre Hassan and William Benson round out the cast as family members drawn into the sisters' complicated history. The two women deal with grief, ambition, and old wounds while trying to hold their family together. Director Damilola Orimogunje sets the story against the backdrop of 1990s Nigerian family life.
