From the moment they meet, Bolude, the dutiful daughter of a Nigerian diplomat, and Carmen, a self-made vigilante mestiza, share an unbreakable sistership. Attempting to define themselves amidst American identity politics, light-skinned Carmen acknowledges only her Latin heritage, and Bolude embraces Western values over Nigerian roots. Sure to change everything is Bolude’s engagement to white, Australian Tommy. Bolude finally braves telling her traditional father, Akin, only two weeks before the wedding. Hurt she has not chosen a Nigerian, Akin responds with an ultimatum: he will only give his blessing if she can follow tradition and get 100 Australians from100 villages to welcome her. The two women fly to Australia and set off on the wrong side of the road to find Sydney’s ethnic ‘villages.’ Along with welcomes, the uproarious light of Australian culture forces them to confront their identity choices-and their diverging paths. In connecting with her Nigerian identity, she tries to attract the number of welcomes she needs, but loses Carmen in the process who is finding out about her own Australian heritage. Can Bolude find the answers to harmonise living in Australia with Tommy, serving her community in Nigeria, and keeping Carmen in the family.

Through powerful narratives and raw emotion, this documentary is a poignant glimpse into the social impact of the floods, and the ongoing challenges of rebuilding.
