Nollywood actress Genevieve Nnaji’s latest production ‘Lionheart’ which was shot last year, is about to have its world premiere on the 2018 Toronto international film festival.
The movie follows Genevieve who plays Adaeze, a level-headed executive in her father’s bus company, Lionheart transport. Over and over, Adaeze has validated her eager ability to make a profit and to manage the most heated situations. However when her father falls ill, both her and her rival are passed over in favour of Adaeze’s less-than-suave uncle, Godswill.
Determined to fight her way to the pinnacle, however not wanting to head against her father’s desires, Adaeze feels like the proverbial bus has left the station with out her. She have to quickly shift gears, but, when her and Godswill discover that Lionheart is running on fumes, financially. Together, the unlikely duo have to come collectively to save the company and their own family name.
Sharply and comically observed, the film deals with the regular sexism that saturates workplaces everywhere, and captures the delicate balance between honouring one’s family while finding the courage to strike out on one’s own.
Lionheart stars Nkem Owoh, Pete Edochie, Onyeka Onwenu and more, and this would be Genevieve’s directorial debut.
The festival is scheduled to take place from the 6th to the 16th of September 2018.
