Yvonne & Hlomla in one the scenes |
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.
