Inspired by true life events, in the Oyo Empire in the 1940's, Elesin Oba, the king's chief horseman, succumbs to the lure of beauty and sexual desire on the very evening he is set to die in order to fulfil his lifelong debt of ritual suicide to accompany the dead Alaafin to the realm of the ancestors. His failure to uphold this sacred duty derails a crucial generational and spiritual transaction, shattering the delicate balance between tradition and destiny. As the community grapples with the fallout, the British colonial authorities seize the opportunity to further undermine indigenous customs, creating a tense clash of cultures. The film masterfully weaves together themes of honor, betrayal, and the erosion of ancient traditions, as Elesin's son, educated in the West, returns to confront his father's actions and the crumbling world of his ancestors. Through powerful performances and rich symbolism, the story explores the tragic consequences of broken vows and the collision between Yoruba spirituality and encroaching modernity, leaving audiences to ponder the price of cultural preservation in a rapidly changing world.
