This festive film is expected to be a hit, offering a cross-cultural cinematic experience that blends the best of both Ghanaian and Nigerian storytelling.
Co-produced by Sedufia and Nigerian film mogul Chris Odeh, One Night Guests follows the heartwarming yet chaotic tale of Olumide, a wealthy father who has a cherished tradition of hiring Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, and an elf to make his daughter’s Christmas special. This year, however, the tradition takes an unexpected turn when two separate trios of holiday characters show up at his doorstep, each claiming to be the real Santa and his helpers. The result is a hilarious and heartfelt exploration of identity, privilege, and family, as Olumide learns valuable lessons about empathy and connection.

Their collective performances promise to captivate audiences with humor and emotional depth, while delivering the film's core message about the power of family and understanding.

The city’s vibrant energy and cultural richness elevate the narrative, making it both relatable and distinct. Filmed entirely in Lagos, One Night Guests captures the dynamic spirit of the city, enhancing the film’s festive atmosphere.
