About the Film

The Story Behind
the Secrets

Based on Lola Shoneyin's celebrated novel The Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Wives, this sweeping drama follows Bolanle — the educated fourth wife of a prosperous Yoruba patriarch named Baba Segi — whose arrival in the household disturbs a delicate and dangerous balance that has held for years.

Each wife carries a secret. Each secret has a cost. And the arrival of one woman is all it takes to unravel everything. A story about power, silence, tradition, and the extraordinary strength of women bound by circumstance.

A lavish EbonyLife Films production — bringing one of Nigeria's most beloved and globally acclaimed works of literature to the big screen for the very first time.
