ONLY BIG BUMBUM MATTERS TOMORRO

Three days after her father’s funeral, twenty-year-old Tèmi and her family gather for the reading of his will. It is at this sober occasion that Tèmi lets slip her plan which sends the grieving family into panic and prayer. The women of the family are loud in their criticism of Temi’s intentions but, in their quiet moments, they reflect on their own imperfect journeys, especially how their bodies and their looks have shaped their lives. Forgotten scandals and family secrets are suddenly laid bare. Is Tèmi really the crazy one? In an era of fillers and filters, Damilare Kuku’s Only Big Bum Bum Matters Tomorrow explores the aspirations of young Nigerian women and the complexities of body image in an evolving society.
