“The film follows a Nigerian graduate student who has come to Norway to study to become a film director. Overwhelmed by loneliness in the new country, she begins to visit a café where she finds and befriends a nice elderly man who serves her coffee but may be hiding a secret. He becomes her confidant – but it is not long before she must confront her fears and the secret held by her new friend.”
“The Lost Café is Kenneth Gyang’s third film on the streaming platform following “Oloture,” which was published as a Netflix Original in 2020. “Oloture” starred Sharon Ooja, Omoni Oboli and rapper Ikechukwu.
While Kenneth is currently working on an unnamed project which could also be on Netflix, Regina is working on the “Golden Brush” show, a reality TV project featuring selected make-up artists from across Nigeria.
On the Nigerian-Norwegian film, Regina is hopeful that “The Lost Café” will be the start of many collaborations between Nigeria and the European country as both countries have a lot to gain from each other.
