Since the pregnancy of his now ex-girlfriend Asha, Dennis (21) is beset by feelings of guilt concerning his Nigerian father’s death sixteen years ago. Plagued by nightmares about the frozen lake his dad drowned himself in, he wants to move back in with his mother. His anxieties seem to be sparked by the imminent birth of his first child. In this drama, a voodoo curse seems to be the only way for Dennis to cast off this burden lying on himself and his loved ones.
When the birth of his first child is approaching, student Dennis (21) moves back in with his mother in his hometown. Due to an aggressive episode, Dennis is no longer allowed to see his highly pregnant ex- girlfriend. Unprocessed emotions and questions about the death of his Nigerian father Adé start haunting him. Even more so when he spiritually seeks the confrontation with his unborn child through a voodoo spell.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
