Okoro's Contract Goes To Kumasi

Yvonne & Hlomla in one the scenes

After a successful premiere in Accra, actress Yvonne Okoro will be routing to Kumasi this weekend to outdoor her first movie as a producer

Arrangements have been concluded to premiere the movie at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science & Technology on January 26.

Some of the crème de la crème of the movie industry and the cast are expected to show up at the premiering event to enjoy the movie with fans who attend the event. 

The Contract, directed by Shirley Frimpong Manso, is still making a huge impact in Accra. Its premiere at the National Theatre and subsequent screening at the Silverbird Cinema attracted one of the biggest crowds ever. Tickets for the National Theatre event were sold out.

 The Contract tells the story of a successful businessman Peter Puplampo (Homla Dandala), 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, contractual relationship with Abena Boateng (Yvonne Okoro), 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.
