Finding Odera is a poignant and visually rich romantic drama that explores the intricate layers of the diaspora experience, spanning the vibrant energy of Lagos, Nigeria, and the bustling multiculturalism of Toronto, Canada.


The film centers on Olisa Obi, a devoted Nigerian man whose journey to reunite with his long-lost love, Odera, becomes a deeper quest for self-discovery across two continents. Leaving behind his familiar life, Olisa navigates the challenges of new cultural landscapes in Toronto, where his search takes an unexpected turn after meeting Aria McDonald, a local Canadian filmmaker who offers assistance and a new perspective on belonging.


Directed by Charles Uwagbai (The Wall Street Boy), this story is more than a romantic pursuit; it is a powerful transcultural exploration that celebrates Nigerian culture and resilience while examining the complexities of migration, assimilation, and the universal human desire for deep connection.


The film has been praised by critics for exploring themes of "cultural identity and human connection" and is a "very relatable" journey that fills Nigerians with "immense pride."
