Their lives collide when Ejikeme an investment banker comes home from the United States with Lola's brother Charlie to invest in Nigerian businesses. It is love at first sight for them and as they embark on a journey of discovering this new love, they have to contend with the political ambitions of Ejikeme's mother who is planning a marriage between him and the only daughter of Otunba Ayodeji, a political juggernaut who is considering Ejikeme's father as his running mate for the Nigerian Presidency. His mother's actions create a rift between Ejikeme and Lola that pits their families against one another with almost deadly results. Ejike's mother is a driven social butterfly with just one aim in mind, make her husband President and become the First Lady. Lola's mother is a psychologist with a cool temperament but she is pushed too far when her daughter is threatened. As the love story of Ejikeme and Lola unfolds, viewers will laugh, cry and root for true love all at once. In "2 Weeks in Lagos" we witness the impact of superstitions on the Nigerian mind when a father tries to kill his young daughter who he has accused of being a demon child (Ogbanje in the local parlance), claiming she is the reason for his depressed business and his wife's sickness that had been going on since she was born. When he is stopped from doing this by Lola and her tailor Madam Eloho, he dumps the child on Madam Eloho and leaves without a backward glance. In Madam Eloho, the elasticity of the Nigerian psyche in dealing with difficulties is fully displayed as she takes on the child without giving it any though and declares that "God will help us" when Lola questions her about being able to provide for the child. "2 Weeks in Lagos" captures the excitement and vibrancy of everyday life in Lagos and reflects the complexity of life in Lagos, a dynamic city where anything is possible in 2 Weeks. Through out the story, Nigerian traditions are explored in an authentic manner that is exciting, educative and poignant; biblical truths about mercy, love, and forgiveness are explored and naturally woven into the day-to-day lives of the protagonists in a truthful and respectful manner reflecting the deep faith of the typical Nigerian. From the crippling infamous Lagos traffic, to the daily hustle that makes up life on the streets of Lagos and a visit to the local street food vendors (Bukkas) serving up the best in local delicacies, "2 Weeks in Lagos will keep viewers glued to the screen from beginning to end.

- DirectorJean RouchStarsOumarou GandaGambiPetit Touré"I, a Negro" depicts young Nigerien immigrants who left their country to find work in the Ivory Coast, in the Treichville quarter of Abidjan, the capital. These immigrants live in squalor in Treichville, envious of the bordering quarters of The Plateau (the business and industrial district) and the old African quarter of Adjame. The film traces a week in these immigrants' lives, blurring the line between their characters' routines and their own. Every morning, Tarzan, Eddy Constantine and Edward G. Robinson seek work in Treichville in hopes of getting the 20 francs that a bowl of soup costs them. They perform menial jobs as dockers carrying sacks and handy labor shipping supplies to Europe. At night, they drink away their sorrows in bars while dreaming about their idealized lives as their "movie" alter-egos, alternatively as an FBI Agent, a womanizing bachelor, a successful boxer, and even able to stand up to the white colonialists that seduce away their women. These dream-like sequences are shot in a poetic mode. Each day is introduced by an interstitial voice of god omniscient narration from Jean Rouch, providing a universal thematic distance to the movie's events. The film is book-ended by a narration directed at both Petit Jules and the audience from Edward G. Robinson fondly looking back on his childhood in Niger and concluding that his life is worthy of his dreams.
