The fragile bond between a young married couple is tested when Mohini, who secretly got a contraceptive implant after her wedding, has to choose between a thriving career she painstakingly built over several years and having a baby – the only thing her husband, Jaiyeola, has ever wanted more than marrying her.

This is the plot of “Heaven Baby”, the short film released by The Naked Convos on Thursday, October 8, ahead of this year’s International Day of the girl child. The film, which stars Oreka Godis, Ibrahim Suleiman, Dorcas Paul, Gbemi Olateru-Olagbegi and Jude Okey is another milestone for The Naked Convos (popularly known as TNC), which has transformed from a choice destination for young Nigerians to share their thoughts and opinions using articles and short stories to full-fledged content production and distribution company.

“Heaven Baby” is their second production this year, after the success of their gritty, dark drama web series titled My Name Is A-Zed. The film, which is set in the metropolitan city of Lagos, tells the story of fiercely independent Engr. Mohini Gbadebo and her best friend Dr Anita Momoh in an obvious attempt by TNC to spotlight issues related to women, family and career.

In Heaven Baby, Godis’ character, Mohini ends up making a decision to which Adetula added: “at the end of it all, viewers will leave wondering if she made the right or wrong decision and we hope this will start conversations on this topic.”
