Bimpe has been the talk of the town, only, she has not been in town to hear it as she has been “in hiding”, bracing herself and her autistic son from the unforgiving gaze of Lagos high society. Her self-imposed exile is abruptly ruptured when she attends the Owambe of all Owambes and is forced to navigate the social norms of a world where tradition is at odds with her experience of motherhood.
Written by Adenike Oke, 'In Hiding' is a poignant social drama, exposing how the stigmatisation of neurological disorders can challenge motherly love.
