A deep secret links Bimbo Manuel, Mike Ezuruonye and Uti Nwachukwu in the movie: Breathless.
The trio is connected by a not exactly small matter of the unresolved murder of Professor Okpodu’s mistress, with whom Nwachukwu and Ezuruonye also had romantic links.
Fingers point in the direction of Ezuruonye and the matter is made worse when the sister to the mistress, Jenny, arrives from the sky to work for Prof Okpodu, in an attempt to blow the evil whirlwind open and avenge her sister’s death.
She falls into a lust triangle and becomes the trigger for an almighty feud between Nwachukwu and Ezuruonye.
The movie climaxes when it exposes minute-by-minute the messy secrets.
Ezuronye stars as Ben (Okpodu’s biological son), Bimbo Manuel (Professor Okpodu), Uti Nwachukwu as Priye (adopted son), Brycee Bassey (Jenny), Bobby Michaels (Detective) and John Njamah as Kwame.
The film was directed by Charles Uwagbai, who had previously directed Okoro The Prince, Black Sillhuoete and Drive.
Uti Nwachukwu just got nomination for the Africa Movie Academy Awards for Best Actor in a Supporting Role in Breathless, while Mike Ezuronye was nominated for the 2016 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards as Best Actor in a Drama (TV/Series) also for his role in Breathless.
The movie will debut in the cinemas on July 1, 2016.
