Genevieve Nnaji’s latest production ‘Lionheart’ which was shot in 2017, is set to have its world premiere at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival.
Genevieve who plays Adaeze, a level-headed executive in her father’s bus company, Lionheart Transport. Time and again, Adaeze has proven her keen ability to make a profit and to manage the most heated situations. But when her father falls ill, both her and her rival are passed over in favour of Adaeze’s less-than-suave uncle, Godswill.
Focused to fight her way to the top, but does not want to go against her father's wishes, Adaeze feels as though the proverbial bus has left the station without her. It must quickly displace the gears, however, when she and the Godswill discover that Lionheart is running for smoke financially. Together, the impossible duo should join to save the company and their family name. Hard and comical observation, the film deals with everyday sexism that satiates job offices everywhere, and captures the delicate balance between the family's honor and the courage to go out.
Lionheart stars icons Nkem Owoh, Pete Edochie, Onyeka Onwenu and more, and this would be Genevieve’s directorial debut.
The festival is scheduled to take place from the 6th to the 16th of September 2018.
