Storyteller Ayomide Napson has released a new short film, “A Tale of Two First Dates.” Written, directed and produced by Ayomide himself, he explores the depths of human connection in unexpected places through this story.
The film follows Isabel Adeleke, a disturbed psychology PhD student who interviews James Popoola, a convicted felon, for her thesis. Despite their vastly different backgrounds, a connection sparks during their conversation. As they dig into their pasts, James shares a heartbreaking story of vengeance, while Isabel confides in him about her difficult divorce. However, their newfound bond is tragically cut short when Isabel learns of James’ imminent execution. This stark reminder of the justice system’s harsh realities leaves Isabel heartbroken over the loss of a connection that offered her unexpected solace.
