Cordelia is a deeply moving, slow-burning political drama set in Nigeria during the early 1990s. It follows a weary university professor who shelters a wounded student, Cordelia, who turns out to be the daughter of a falsely accused coup leader. As unrest unfolds, secrets and moral dilemmas force his conscience into conflict. Poised between safety and justice, this film is a meditation on power, silence, and the fragility of ordinary lives.
