Entanglements
When a young girl disappears from her apartment complex, Osas—a craftswoman and outsider within her community—is haunted by her grief for someone she only knew from a distance. In this surrealist drama weaving live action and 2D animation, we follow the thread between the disappearance of an Edo girl from Benin city and the stolen art of the Benin kingdom.
