The Festival of Broken Calabashes is a heartwarming cultural tale set in the vibrant village of Umuaka, where ancient traditions come alive in a celebration of renewal and unity. Each year, villagers gather to shatter calabashes symbols of pain, secrets, and the past to make room for healing, truth, and new beginnings. When Adaora, a spirited young woman with a burdened heart, returns home for the festival, she must confront her family's hidden wounds and the expectations of tradition. Through dance, song, and the rhythm of shattered calabashes, she discovers strength, identity, and the true meaning of freedom.
