Tiro\, the boyfriend\, presents Sierra with a hard choice: abort or lose him forever. Sierra consumes a strange concoction designed to abort but instead it bestows her with the inexplicable ability to excrete gold coins. \nWhat follows is an uproarious and darkly comedic chain of events as Skorra\, a Pawn shop owner and his henchmen invade Sierra’s home with the hope of extracting the gold coins. Her loft\, once a sanctuary of artistic expression\, morphs into an unexpected battleground of wits and resolve\, as everyone fights for what they want and the pursuit of riches\, ultimately spirals into a deadly showdown. A riveting exploration of love\, desperation\, and the unimaginable consequences of choice.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” leaf_row_scheme=”0″ css=”.vc_custom_1762755658403{padding-top: 60px !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1747872042954{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]    \n    	\n                	Directed by                \n        \n    \n    [/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1741762720592{margin-top: -40px !important;}”]        	\n            	\n                	Adze Ugah                \n                \n                	\n                        \n                            Adze Ugah\n                            \n                        \n                                                \n                        	                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                \n                        \n                    \n                \n            \n			[/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1741917233346{margin-top: -40px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=””] \nAdze Ugah’s foray into the film making began after obtaining a Diploma in Motion Picture Production at the National Film Institute\, Jos\, Nigeria. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” leaf_row_scheme=”0″ css=”.vc_custom_1762755711457{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;background-color: #F0F0F0 !important;}”][vc_column]    \n    	\n                	Trailer                \n        \n    \n    [vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPi__0ufgww”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” leaf_row_scheme=”0″ css=”.vc_custom_1762754184742{padding-bottom: 60px !important;background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1762753996368{margin-top: 30px !important;}”]    \n    	\n                	Get your Access Pass Now!                \n        \n    \n    [/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=””] \nBUY YOUR IN-PERSON ALL ACCESS PASS\n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”5951″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=””][vc_column_text css=””] \n    	\n        BUY NOW!        \n         \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=””] \n BUY YOUR ONLINE ALL ACCESS PASS\n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”5483″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=””][vc_column_text css=””] \n    	\n        BUY NOW!        \n         \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=””] \nBUY YOUR OPENING FILM TICKET\n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”5485″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=””][vc_column_text css=””] \n    	\n        BUY NOW!        \n         \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
