Iya

The story explores what happens when love, family responsibilities and the sacrifices made by a mother begin to create unexpected consequences within the family.

Rather than simply presenting a story designed to entertain, IYA appears to focus on emotional family relationships and the difficult realities that can emerge when people are forced to deal with the consequences of their choices.

The movie’s central theme makes it particularly relatable to audiences who enjoy Yoruba films built around family, motherhood, sacrifice and emotional conflict.
