About This Movie

So, 'i and i' is a really interesting short film from Samona Olanipekun that dives into this whole idea of male identity today. The pacing is contemplative, almost meditative at times, as we follow a young man on the brink of turning 30. It’s like peeling back layers of an onion—each scene reveals a bit more about him and that familiar figure he confronts. Ajayi and Adewunmi deliver performances that feel real, raw, and a bit unsettling, which adds to the film's atmosphere. There's a certain intimacy in the way it captures his preparation for the birthday too. Not a lot of flashy effects here; it’s all about the performances and that quiet tension.
