Short filmTranscript
00:00She saw a man standing on the roadside, like he was waiting for the bus.
00:04Nkele touched him and told him,
00:07Good afternoon sir, please could you take my sister and I to the nearest orphanage.
00:13My mother has just passed away and we have no one to care for us.
00:17Please sir, help my sister and I.
00:20Once upon a time there lived a couple, Daniel and Bisola.
00:34They had been married for 12 years with two daughters, Nkem and Amanda.
00:41Nkem was 11 years old while Amanda was just 6.
00:47Daniel's attitude towards his wife started changing because she gave birth to only girls.
00:54As an African man, he wished to have a male child who would replace him when he leaves the earth.
01:02When Bisola got pregnant again, Daniel was very happy.
01:07But everything changed when she came back with the news that she was carrying a female child.
01:15Daniel complained bitterly to his wife about how she always ended up giving him female children.
01:23Bisola tried to tell him that she did not have the ability to determine the gender of children.
01:29But Daniel slapped her and warned her not to talk when he was talking.
01:35Daniel's attitude towards his wife grew from bad to worse.
01:40Anything and everything she did was wrong in his sight and he beat her at any slightest offence.
01:49Months later, Bisola had rumours that her husband had impregnated another lady and always went to visit her place often.
02:01Bisola felt so bad but she waited for her husband to come back so she could ask him.
02:09When Daniel came back home that evening, Bisola calmly asked Daniel,
02:15''Darling, there's something bothering me. I've heard some rumours circulating about you expecting a child from another woman. Is that true? Are the rumours true?''
02:29But Daniel refused to answer his wife. She kept pressuring him and kept asking him to question.
02:37Daniel got angry and asked her, ''Woman, I can see that you are very curious to know if I'm expecting a child from another woman.
02:46Now wait for me here, you will get answers to your question.''
02:50He turned around and left the house.
02:53An hour later and Daniel drove into his compound again with a lady.
02:58When they came down from the car, Daniel carried the lady's bag and kept pampering her.
03:04Bisola was heartbroken at the sight of her husband taking care of another lady in her presence.
03:11Tears trickled down her cheeks.
03:14The lady began to make mocking faces at Bisola.
03:18Bisola was in so much rage that she slapped the lady.
03:23Daniel, out of anger, began to beat Bisola.
03:26He gave her the beating of her life not minding the fact that she was heavily pregnant.
03:33Their daughters, Nkem and Amanda, kept trying to stop him.
03:38''Daddy, please stop. Stop hitting mom. She's all we have. Please stop.''
03:44After he had beaten Bisola to his satisfaction, he left her on the floor and walked into the house with his new wife.
03:52Bisola lay on the floor crying.
03:55Nkem saw blood on the floor where her mother was lying down.
04:00She rushed to her father's room and kept knocking, calling on him to come help their mother.
04:06But a voice from inside warned her never to knock on the door again.
04:10''Leave that door Nkem. Don't knock on that door again.''
04:15Nkem ran back to her mother and helped her stand up.
04:20Bisola, in the company of her two girls, walked slowly down the road to the hospital.
04:27When they got to the hospital, Bisola was taken in and the girls were left in the waiting lounge.
04:33After a while, the doctor came out and saw the two little girls crying.
04:39He couldn't bring himself to tell the girls that they had just lost their mother and unborn baby.
04:45He asked the girls what had happened to their mother and they said that it was their father who had beaten up their mother.
04:53The doctor made up his mind that he was going to file a case against the little girls' father.
05:00The girls asked him about their mother and he told them that they would come back for her after seeing their father.
05:08When they arrived at Daniel's house, the doctor got scared and decided against filing a case because Daniel was a worldly man.
05:20He walked in with the girls and met Daniel in the sitting room with his new wife.
05:26The doctor told Daniel that his wife was dead and that he should come and make the arrangements to take her to the mortuary.
05:34Then the doctor left.
05:37Nkem was old enough to understand what death meant.
05:41She covered her mouth and cried deeply.
05:45Naive Amanda was trying so hard to console her big sister.
05:50Daniel was touched.
05:53He never planned to kill his wife.
05:55He felt sorry for his daughters.
05:58He tried to go and console them.
06:01His new wife Mirabel tried stopping him by faking pains around her stomach and falling on the sofa.
06:09Daniel came to help her up.
06:11She told Daniel to take her into the room because the pain was too much.
06:16Daniel took her inside, forgetting his girls.
06:20Nkem and Amanda slept off in their own tears.
06:25In the morning, Mirabel came out and met Nkem and Amanda lying down on the floor.
06:31She poured a bucket of cold water on the girls.
06:36She asked Nkem to get a mop and wipe it off.
06:41When Daniel was about to come out of the room, Mirabel quickly asked the girls to go and hide so that their father wouldn't see them or else she would beat them.
06:51When he came out, he asked about his girls and Mirabel told him that they were sleeping.
06:57Daniel called his friend to confirm if Bisola's corpse were taken to the mortuary the night before.
07:03After confirming that, he left home.
07:06After Daniel left, Mirabel called the girls and asked them their names.
07:12She told them that she was now in charge.
07:15She divided the house chores between the two girls.
07:19Nkem tried to tell Mirabel that Amanda was still little for the work she had given her.
07:25But she slapped her and warned her never to talk when she was talking.
07:31The next day, Mirabel made sure that the girls kept working without food.
07:36It was noon already and yet she hadn't given them what to eat.
07:41Amanda was so hungry and Nkem decided to get some food from the pot for her and her sister.
07:48They were still eating when Mirabel walked in.
07:52She poured the food on Nkem and shouted at her for not taking permission from her before eating.
07:58Amanda and Nkem started crying while their father's mistress left them hungry all through the day.
08:05Towards evening, when Daniel came back, Mirabel prepared food for herself and Daniel alone, leaving Nkem and Amanda to starve.
08:14Little Amanda was so hungry that she couldn't endure the hunger anymore.
08:20She rushed to the dining table where her father was eating and said to her father,
08:26Daddy, I and my sister have had nothing to eat this morning.
08:30Please, can we have some food?
08:33Daniel on hearing this from her daughter was surprised because she never thought Mirabel would leave his children hungry.
08:40He was not aware that his children were being mistreated in his absence.
08:45He gave his food to his girls and left the dining table in anger.
08:51Mirabel, on noticing that Daniel was angry, followed him, begging for forgiveness.
08:57The next morning, Daniel left very early without checking on his daughters.
09:02As soon as he left, Mirabel flogged both Nkem and Amanda mercilessly for making Daniel shout at her the previous night.
09:11After that, she assigned chores to them and made them walk without food.
09:17That same morning, at around 10 a.m., a strange man named Stephen came knocking on their door.
09:25Mirabel came to the door and brought the man into the house.
09:29She sent Nkem on errands to stop her from eavesdropping into their discussion.
09:35As Nkem was about to deliver the message to Mirabel, she overheard the man who came to visit them mention the name of her father.
09:45She decided to pay attention to their conversation to hear what they were discussing.
09:51Nkem heard the strange man and Mirabel planning on how to kill their father and take over his properties.
09:58What are you waiting for Mirabel? You are taking too long.
10:02Poison him and let's take over the properties immediately. There's no time anymore.
10:08No, we can't do that now.
10:12If we kill him now, how then do we claim his properties?
10:15Wait until I give birth and I convince him to will all his properties to our son.
10:22After that, killing you will be a piece of cake.
10:26Then Stephen told Mirabel he knew how to kill Nkem and Amanda and no one would find out.
10:33He whispered into the ears of Mirabel.
10:36When Nkem heard this, her heart started beating fast and she ran into the kitchen.
10:43That day, towards evening, after Stephen had left, Mirabel came calling out to the girls but no one answered.
10:52She thought they were sleeping and went into their room but they were not there.
10:57She searched everywhere around the house but they were nowhere to be found.
11:02Mirabel asked the gate man about the kids but the gate man said he hadn't seen them either.
11:08Few minutes later, a car honked outside and it was Daniel. Mirabel's heart began to beat faster.
11:16Daniel came into the house and asked Mirabel,
11:19Why do you look so restless and where are the kids?
11:23I'm fine. It's just the pregnancy. The girls are in their room sleeping.
11:29She took Daniel into their room immediately so he wouldn't go around asking for his daughters.
11:35Mirabel was confused on what lie she was going to tell Daniel if he found out his daughters were missing.
11:41She needed to call Stephen and ask for a solution but she can only do that the next day so Daniel wouldn't hear her conversation with him.
11:50After dinner, Daniel was so tired he lay down and slept off.
11:56In the morning, Daniel left the house and entered his car to leave for work.
12:01He remembered he had not seen his children since the previous day so he went back into the house, straight to his children's room.
12:09I'm not getting in there. His girls were not in their room.
12:13He asked Mirabel about his kids but she had no answer.
12:17Out of anger, Daniel raised his hand and slapped Mirabel.
12:22She fainted. Daniel became confused. He didn't know if he was to go after his girls or take his wife to the hospital.
12:31It happened that the previous day, after he came over, he had the conversation between Mirabel and Stephen to kill them and their father.
12:43The girl was confused and didn't know what to do.
12:47She didn't know if she should tell her father about their plans.
12:52She was not even sure her father would believe her so she decided it was best for her and her sister to leave since Mirabel and Stephen were plotting to kill them.
13:03When Stephen had left and Mirabel was sleeping in her room, Nkem took some of her clothes and that of her sister, packed them into their school bags.
13:14Each of them carried theirs and snuck out of the building.
13:18She ran out with Amanda. They were stranded and scared with nowhere to go.
13:25She wanted to go to her mother's friend's place but then she feared they would take them back to their father.
13:33Nkem, being a smart girl, came up with a very good plan.
13:38She saw a man standing on the roadside like he was waiting for the bus. Nkem touched him and told him,
13:45Good afternoon sir. Please could you take my sister and I to the nearest orphanage.
13:51My mother has just passed away and we have no one to care for us. Please sir, help my sister and I.
13:58The man was touched when Nkem told him that their mother was dead.
14:03He wiped their tears and began to ask people around for the nearest orphanage.
14:08It was about two hours drive. The young man was so touched that he decided to take them there himself.
14:16After a long drive, they arrived at the orphanage with Nkem and Amanda.
14:21They thanked him and he waved them goodbye and left.
14:25The next day, a couple came for adoption and they saw Amanda looking so cute.
14:32They wanted to adopt Amanda. The management told them that the girls just came into the orphanage the previous day
14:39but the couples insisted that they wanted Amanda. Nkem refused to let her sister go.
14:46We are sisters and she can't go without me. We have to go together.
