CHASING THE SUN
LOGLINE:
In a time when women have no voice or choice, a lone maiden girl must set her eyes on one single mission, to find the murderer of her father and restore her family name.
TREATMENT:
Born into a land of many rivers, of kingdoms and a boom in the slave era, everybody knew Oritsebemigho was born different from the average girl child. She was built tough, resilient, questions authority and holds her shoulders high.
Ably aided by her father, Oritsebemigho would come to stand shoulder to shoulder with her brothers and the average man in a time when the girl child is never seen beyond the faintest shadow of a man.
Coming from a long line of slaves who are deemed property to the Olu [king] of the kingdom, her family has been known to enjoy more than the average treat from the king because just like her forefathers, her father is a trusted ally to the king, a development that did not go down with many chiefs and kingmakers in the land.
Her family enjoys farmlands and a good amount of respect from the king who considers Ade, her father a dear friend and confidant, this closeness of the king and a lowly servant father does not go down well with
But in the midst of all these plenty, there is an existing threat in the land that will throw Oritsebemigho’s family into the pit of controversy and murder chiefly because of her family’s unusual closeness to the king and the throne.
Oritsebemigho has turned down many suitors, chiefly Agbeyegbe, a bosom friend of the family and friend to her older brother Temisan, she turned down Agbeyegbe because she is madly in love with Atigbin, another farmer and hunter from another lower class in the land, this did not go down well with her father who seems her action as a slap on his integrity as a man and ruler of his household, this action however breeds ill-will between father and daughter.
To have his way, Ade marries off Oritsebemigho off to a titled chief and kingmaker of the land against her wish, the man, Ologbotsere is already a man with many wives and as old as her father but she has no choice in the matter.
But behind this family intrigue is a bigger one at play, at the palace of the Oba, king of the land, there is an evil in process and as usual, Ade, Oritsebemigho’s father was invited in the dead of the night to advise the king, this didn’t go down well with many and a process is set in place for his entrapment, a ploy which he easily falls for.
Ade, Oritsebemigho’s father is beheaded by the king, his name dishonored and his legacy soiled, the family remain inconsolable but Oritsebemigho smell a conspiracy against her father and she sets out on a dangerous journey to fish out whoever is in league with death.
Despite being a woman, heavily pregnant and leading a secret charge to find the conspirators in her father’s murder, Oritsebemigho is able to uncover the rotten decay of political alliance of chiefs that got her father framed and murdered.
With the help of her former betrothed, Atigbin, Oritsebemigho is able to bring down many chiefs complicit in a crime against the throne that her father was framed for, one of such guilty men will turn out to be her own husband, Ologbotsere, who championed the cause against the throne, the kingdom and her father and in the process restoring her father’s good name and her family’s integrity.
