Aníkúlápó tells the story of a sojourner who finds his way to Oyo in search of greener pastures where he finds favor and things begin to change for good. Unfortunately, he found love in a forbidden place, longed for the abominable, and eventually got caught in the web of lust.
What will this man do to defy death, challenge death and be superior to death itself?
Aníkúlápó mbo – he who has death in his pouch is coming.
What will he bring along with him? Will his arrival spell doom for all? Perhaps, he’s the savior everyone has ever imagined but never thought existed.
Produced and Directed by Kunle Afolayan as one of his slate projects with Netflix, Anikulapo is a work of art that tells a beautiful story through the eyes of culture and tradition, set in the pre-colonial era as far back as the 17th century of the Old Oyo Empire, it is sensational in every sense of it.
