A Landmark Film in Nigerian Cinema.
A carefree bachelor finds his world turned upside down when an abandoned baby is left on his doorstep with a note demanding that he take responsibility.
Unprepared for fatherhood and desperate for answers, he turns to a compassionate neighbour for help. What begins as a search for the child’s mother soon becomes a journey of self-discovery, forcing both of them to confront questions of love, responsibility, and the meaning of family.
Warm, humorous, and deeply human, Through The Glass explores how unexpected moments can change the course of a life forever.
