When his Nigerian mother slaps him in the middle of a celebratory dinner at an elegant London restaurant, Ade is flooded with memories of growing up with her in South London — and of the father he has become.

A BAFTA-nominated dramedy, funny and moving in equal measure, about how a mother's discipline shapes the parent her son becomes.
