Weeks
after deliberating on changing the working title for Yvonne Okoro’s upcoming
first produced movie, the actress, and director Shirley Frimpong Manso have
finally decided to maintain the title: ‘The Contract’.
The
two reportedly had lengthy talks days ago and finally came to a conclusion.
Their
respective positions on the title before the agreement was reached were not
readily known. However, prior to agreeing on the title, they both took into
consideration a title that would capture the audience’s attention.
The
upcoming film is described as an award-winning romantic comedy and Yvonne
reportedly put up her best performance in the movie.
It
featured South Africa’s celebrated actor Homla Dandala and Nigeria’s Benjamin
Joseph and a number of Ghanaian actors. Yesterday, a synopsis of the movie was
released.
It
tells the story of a successful businessman Peter Puplampo, the ultimate alpha
male.

He
is 40 years old, rich and a staunch bachelor. Despite his mother’s persistent
attempts to find him a woman, Peter sticks to his rule of non-committal casual
dates, freedom and being in control of his life until the desire to have a
child arises. In his quest to find the woman who will take his money, have his
child and disappear, Peter begins a roller-coaster, contracted relationship
with Abena Boateng, a crude but clever local girl who is anything but impressed
with Peter’s affluence.
With
a clear definitive contract from his lawyer outlining the dos and don’ts of
bearing Peter Puplampo’s child, these two opposites must exercise every ounce of
willpower not to kill each other until the child is born. The movie is an
unsuspecting romantic comedy with unusual twists that expose the flaws in being
in control of one’s life.
It
is yet to be confirmed when the movie will be premiered but it has been confirmed
for the Yuletide season.
