The Tenant poster
Obinna (Lucky Ejim), an African refugee in Canada, faces deportation in 30 days, but is provided an opportunity by a chance confrontation with his terminally ill landlord, Tim (Taylor). A former immigration officer, Tim makes him a proposition offering: he will intervene in his deportation, enabling him to remain in the country, if he will find his estranged daughter so he can make peace with her before he dies. With the clock ticking, Obinna battles a series of emotional crises as the very foundations of his principles are shaken by the discovery he makes about the people he presumed he could trust.
