Fifty is a new Nigerian film about four successful, glamorous women in the ever-bustling, mega-city of Lagos.

Apart from success, they have another thing in common: they are all hitting the big 5-O.

It premiered at the London Film Festival a few days ago and is out in cinemas in Nigeria in December.
