“The Sisters” (2025) is a thought-provoking Nollywood drama produced by Ruth Kadiri.
The Sisters opens with a serene morning in Lagos, where Evelyn (Genevieve Ukatu) rises early, preparing for another day as a successful businesswoman. Her life seems orderly and controlled, but a glance at a framed photo of her and her two sisters hints at the weight she carries. She has been their anchor since their parents passed away, sacrificing her own dreams to ensure they had a stable life.
Meanwhile, we are introduced to Mabel (Oma Alozie), the middle sister, in stark contrast to Evelyn. Mabel is whimsical and carefree, though her tear-streaked face reveals the aftermath of yet another failed relationship. Her impulsiveness has caused ripples in the family before, but Mabel’s deep yearning for love keeps her heart open, despite the pain.
The youngest sister, Tina (Ruth Kadiri), is a powerhouse in the corporate world. Dressed sharply and commanding respect in a boardroom, Tina appears confident and self-assured. Yet beneath the surface lies a deep-seated insecurity—a feeling of being overshadowed by Evelyn’s success and sacrifices.
Despite their shared history, their diverging life paths spark conflicts when they inherit a valuable piece of land from their late uncle.
Amid the turmoil, Daniel (Chidi Dike), Evelyn’s long-lost college sweetheart, reenters her life. Their reunion is bittersweet; Evelyn had pushed Daniel away years ago to focus on raising her sisters. Now, his presence stirs old feelings and questions whether she has denied herself happiness for too long.
The sisters must decide its fate, leading to revelations about their sacrifices, insecurities, and ambitions. The story is an emotional exploration of love, forgiveness, and family unity.
With its heartfelt storytelling and compelling characters, The Sisters is a relatable portrayal of family dynamics and individual growth, making it a memorable addition to Nollywood’s 2025 releases.
