    • Synopsis
    • This rags-to-riches story features Charity and her sister, Happy, who are 25 and 16 years old respectively, and living in the slums of Lagos. Both girls dream of a better future, more specifically, owning their own car dealership.
      Disenchanted with the dreary life of the slums, the pair take the bold step of moving to Europe, in search of fortune and that better life than the one they’ve always known. Naturally, being in a new and strange land is a struggle, and comes with a unique set of challenges and adversity. But with strength, determination, and some help from other women they meet along the way, Charity and Happy manage to keep their heads up and turn their dreams into a reality.
