“I will not go to jail for your foolishness today… But I will go for my pride.” That was a pretty badass line. This was also beautifully done and funny as well, wow. The twist at the restaurant. Brought tears to my eyes when he remembered the good times with his mom and now experiencing parenting with his own child.
I loved it. I felt so many emotions. Embarassment why is the mum hitting her son like that? Angry why is he disrespectful to his mum telling her that she's a cleaner? Lightbulb moment she's has always been saving his life. Laughter, what goes around comes around. This was a great production. Bless the strict mothers' out there.
@@candlerosemintMy parents never hit me and I turned out fine. Using corporal punishment on children is proven to be traumatic. It is harmful for both their mental health and physical health. I'm sorry for any person who was beaten and brought up to believe that that is the only form of parenting out there.
lmaoo did you watch the entire short film? I do agree with you about the corporal punishment part. I have had my fair share of trauma in childhood, so I know its a big deal. Its just in this short film, it isn't abuse. The mother was saving her son from choking towards the end@@justanothermortal1373
Cinematography on point! Seeing the slap in the lady’s eye… the wind from the slap. The beads of sweat flying. I teared up thinking of my own parents. And laughed just the same. ❤
😂😂 has to be one of the best short films I’ve seen in a minute. As a Nigerian, I can confirm I see my entire timeline whenever my Nigerian mom descends such heavy slap on me. Sometimes, I see the future too.
This movie is what I needed today. It had me laughing and crying. It had me gasping to keep my soul from leaving my body when he called his mom “just a cleaner”. It was easy to connect to the characters right away. Great acting and great film. Hope we see more of this on Omeleto.
Now we understand why Baba was just sitting there while she was giving the Nigerian Heimlich. Just what I needed at that age. Tough love Thanks Ommeletto!
...and when they're older, they tell you not to hit their grandchildren. Captured a video of my mum and kid playing football together few months ago, it was surprising.
Wow this whole thing was perfection! I usually have low expectations for projects similar to this, in the uk. It normally comes out like some gcse drama act, BUT THIS- thissss completely set the bar high! The quality, detail and cinematography of it feels to be ranking as high budget as well. I hope to see more be movies like this! Storytelling relatable african experiences. Such a heartfelt, funny and authentic piece🩷🇳🇬 well done to my people! 😭😭😭and I genuinely laughed Props to UA-cam recommendations for this one
Hilarious! I enjoyed the mother-son relationship and the unfazed father. What I thought was not what the slaps were for; goes to show you've got to know the whole story instead of being biased 😚😂😉
Where do I start??? 😂 Do i share this with my family now? Or wait to make it mandatory Christmas viewing? I cycled through so many emotions watching this. Yes, Nigerian mothers are from another planet. Nigerian parenting is special. Thank you, mom and pops. ❤
This whole thing was so siiiiiiiick and EXTRMEELY WELL MADE. The story telling, the camera work, the acting, casting, everything!!! I can’t believe this doesn’t have a million views. Absolutely LOVED it!
seems like the mom avoided knocking some sense into him for years and she finally did it, causing him to relive those moments where he needed the sense 😭
This was absolutely incredible, i'm just lost for words. Its amazing how this made me feel so many things. Joy, sadness, fear, grief. Incredible work done by the filmmakers
wow this reminds me of something my very naija mummy would always tell me, “for every headache & stress you’ve caused me in this life, you’ll experience double when you have children of your own” 😭
One of the best things I’ve seen this year! Thank you for making such a beautiful piece. It was so well, done, drove strong messages in the most creative and visually stunning way. 👏🏽
i love this one...as a nigerian child,this is relatable,the plot twist at the end....naaaahhhh straight out fire.....we literally turn out to do same thing to our younger ones,cause our parents in most cases already grown softer over time...
There's a new Puerto Rican comedy film called Daniel El Travieso where one of the characters played all by the same actor portrays his mom, a skilled expert at the use of her chancla for literary Everything.
This documentary reminded me sooooo much of my parents in every way, it was actually terrifying. and the father looks sooo much like my dad thats crazy
I really loved this. And also felt emotional at the part where he called his mom but she wasn't at the table again. ( she was late ) I miss my dad. ( I'll try not to cry as I write this ) This short clip is 1000000000/100 for me 💕💞💖💖💖💖💖
God bless all truly Nigerian mums. Wow! This took me back, I laughed, shook ma head, I remembered... and I miss my mum... kudos to the team for putting this together. 🎉
Damn! You guys are good at this short film thing. The music, editing, acting, story, everything was just perfect. I look forward to seeing more of you and your works.
Tried my best not to cry watching this as I see it from a son perspective and as a farther as well, keep up the good work and look forward to more, your the one to watch. I know i will be probably be ridiculed for what im saying and im ok with it, just had to say. I wanted to see this from the mothers day 1 xtra interview as soon as i could.

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Agreed
I laughed when his own child was going through what he went through , and he said she ate too much chicken and chips LOL .
I didn't see the twist coming! You captured the essence of the short film very well 😊
As a Nigerian, I can confirm to you that our lives do flash before our eyes.😂😂
Mine starts from creation.
I second this message. Nigerians who have witnessed this exact slap know that you will see your entire timeline
As a St.Lucian & Jamaican I too can confirm that our lives do flash before our eyes!
Lol!! 🤦🏾♀️😂🤣
Why are you laughing? That is physical abuse. I hope you are ok

the mother was not strict. She just behaved like any normal parent would.

"Nigerian Heimlich"! 😂😂😂😂💀
😂😂😂
this comment is goated!!! hahaha
As a Nigerian, I can confirm the validity of the documentary.
As a Surinamese I concur. But i have to say, the stares of my grandmother burning into my sole hurt more than my mothers slaps...
Documentary 🤣😭
Screaming at Documentary lol
Nigerians are very serious when it comes to the success of their children. Education, and having a successful career is very important to them.
Moment he said" ur a cleaner" I saw his funeral bells ringing
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m not Nigerian… I’m Asian but I can totally relate ❤️
My moms slaps got me here today 😂
😅
Absolutely brilliant portrayal of a mother's love. Remember, nobody will ever love you as much as your mother does! (In most cases)
As a Black American this was very enlightening to observe Nigerian culture. This is a very well made and well acted short film. Well done indeed.
You were not observing Nigerian culture, you were observing True African culture. As a man I got flogged by my dad&mom until I was 20😊😊.
@@abdulaitimbo6292 okay
As an African child this Brings back so many memories.😂😂😂😂 I love this film
what a hilarious but emotional film. the director really did his thing with this one
So hilarious, truth be told some of those slaps reset our brain
It's the high pitch ringing 😂😂😂 they captured it exactly!!
My mother used to threaten that she "would hit me into to the middle of next week"! - This is just what it was like! time travel.
As a caribbean born and raised, this does happen to me, one time i even visited my past life, it was an awesome experience, till i got back to reality
...and when they're older, they tell you not to hit their grandchildren. Captured a video of my mum and kid playing football together few months ago, it was surprising.
As a black American I can also relate. Phenomenal piece!!!
Your ancestors must have learned it somewhere, cuz. 😉
Saw "nigerian" from omeleto post notification and ran here
Me too😅😅😅
LITCH 😂😂
Nah, you getttt
Even the people that haven't seen this yet, felt those slaps. 🤔😆
I am 100% Nigerian, born to and raised by a Yoruba Mother and Father. I endorse this documentary!!!
The slap that was heard around the world!!!
That would be Will Smith.
I loved this lol. The cinematography was excellent. I'm glad this was an appreciation of a parent's discipline rather than a condemnation of it ❤
When he invoked his moms spirit at the end 😂😂😂😂

They took the most hilarious topic and made it the most emotional short film…
This was a breath of fresh air. Beautiful production and Nigerian portrayal. 🙏🏿

I just wanna know why she still got the knife during prayer😂😂😂. This was absolutely great!
45 hour shift you think you can die on me never 😂😭

Another Nigerian mother line "before you kill me, I'll kill you"😂
I wanna give this short a million likes! Absolutely gorgeous and brilliant in its conception and execution. Bravo to the team!! ❤❤
Fantastic! Kudos on a great story. My family is Caribbean but a mother’s slap is universally understood.
Not the prayers with the back whacking🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Memories!!!! I have eye water (and PTSD) watching this!
An absolute masterpiece of laughter and tenderness. Brb just wiping the tears from my eyes. Abdou Cissé strikes again!!!!!
cinematic and storytelling masterpiece.
This was so beautiful man🤦🏾♂️ I felt this all the way in Detroit and I think every young man of the African Diaspora would be able to feel this
This was absolutely incredible, i'm just lost for words. Its amazing how this made me feel so many things. Joy, sadness, fear, grief. Incredible work done by the filmmakers
Brillant & well acted. Another gem from Omeleto ❤
I’m an Indian but I can still relate to this lol 😂
Wow.Turn-about's fair play. That one caught me well off-guard. Great. Loved it. Omeleto, you did it again.
wow this reminds me of something my very naija mummy would always tell me, “for every headache & stress you’ve caused me in this life, you’ll experience double when you have children of your own” 😭
I LOVE this film and everything about it
I laughed then cried then started laughing again.😂 excellent short film❤️
Lol! Others can relate but only Nigerians could TRULY understand 🤌🏾... not the hand on the hips & the FINGER!!😟🥺
This is what you call a cinematic experience 😂

Enter for the shocking premise, stay for the plot twist. As far as short films go, this is a lovely creation.
Omo!! This film SLAPS!!! 😊
Lmao this is great. As a mother this evoked a few different emotions. Laughter, tears of joy, sadness. Good stuff
I saw Tom Moutchi and I instantly clicked!
"You will not kill me today!"
Wow what a great short film lol now we need one for “La Chancla”
There's a new Puerto Rican comedy film called Daniel El Travieso where one of the characters played all by the same actor portrays his mom, a skilled expert at the use of her chancla for literary Everything.
This was so amazing, well done yo everyone involved, cinematography to acting was on point 👏🏾👏🏾
