Description After his wife leaves him and his son stops speaking to him, retired Adelaide engineer Frank Forbes whiles away his time sorting out tools in his shed. In a desperate attempt to get him to connect with society his daughter, Tracey buys him a computer and an internet connection. Via random emails he encounters would-be Nollywood filmmaker, Ishaku, whose indefatigable optimism draws him into a world of comforting delusions. After the capricious decision to invest in Ishaku's next movie, Frank takes the desperate measure of flying to Lagos to get his money back.
