Private Project

In the Cold Quiet

In Communist Bulgaria, Fisayo hosts illegal weekly bible meetings where she interprets teachings for her American housemate. To Fisayo’s surprise, another Nigerian student, Dele, whose reputation precedes him, joins the group.
When the session ends, the pair find themselves indulging one another in a conversation about their opposing forms of activism. Flirtation brews between the 2 & their hearty exchange is suddenly interrupted by an unwelcome inspection from the militia. Dele & Fisayo’s friction and shared experience leads to a spark that neither of them expected.
