Experiencing Interruptions?

WAZOBIA


In a silent, captivating short film, a fifty Naira note weaves through the hands of a diverse cast, illustrating the intricate connections within a community. A mother, preparing her child for school in the flickering glow of a candle, gives her daughter a fifty Naira note. This single note sets off on an unexpected journey: from the child's tricycle fare to a street vendor's snack sale, from a luxurious car's passenger to a local roadside vulcanizer, and finally, back to the mother who unknowingly started the cycle.

With a focus on hands and legs, the film eloquently portrays the seamless exchange between rich and poor, highlighting how our actions circulate through society, often returning to us in surprising ways. This visually striking narrative underscores the profound message of interconnectedness and the ripple effects of our deeds, all without a single spoken word.

In this film, I told a cliche story of what goes around using just legs and hands.
