On the day of the Egúngún festival, Salewa returns to Lagos to bury her mother. At the funeral, she encounters an acquaintance who forces her to confront old wounds. Egungun is a meditation on memory, identity and duty, on the many versions of ourselves that haunt and heal us.

A woman returns to her hometown of Lagos in search of healing. What she discovers instead is a path that takes her into her past and toward a new understanding of the people and experiences that shaped her.

ES

En las calles de Lagos, una mascarada retiene a Salewa y a su hermano Bode en un atasco de camino al funeral de su madre. Residiendo en Londres, Salewa ha vuelto a su ciudad natal en busca de identidad y de curación. Lo que descubre, en cambio, es un camino que la lleva a su pasado y a una nueva comprensión de las personas y experiencias que dieron forma a lo que es ahora.
