Road to Yesterday is a 2015 Nigerian drama film directed by Ishaya Bako and starring Genevieve Nnaji, Oris Erhuero, and Chioma Omeruah. It tells the story of an estranged couple who embark on a road trip to sort out their marital issues and save their failing marriage. The movie's setting is primarily in a car, taking the audience on a journey through the couple's past and present.

The film opens with lead actress Genevieve Nnaji as Victoria, a fashion designer, who is alerted by her assistant that her flight to Lagos has been canceled. This news frustrates Victoria as she has an important fashion show to attend in Lagos. Victoria then decides to take a road trip with her estranged husband, Izu, played by Oris Erhuero, which they hope will rekindle their love and fix their marriage.

As the couple travels through the Nigerian countryside, viewers get flashbacks of their past, showing the early stages of their relationship as well as what led to the breakdown of their marriage. The flashbacks also provide a deeper understanding of each character, revealing the flaws that exist within their relationship.

Throughout the journey, the couple faces various challenges, including the car breaking down, which forces them to rely on strangers for help. They also encounter a group of mischievous children who cause them trouble. Despite these obstacles, Izu and Victoria begin to rediscover their love for each other, having honest conversations and reflecting on their past mistakes.

As the trip progresses, it becomes clear that Victoria had an affair during their separation, which leaves Izu even more hurt and broken. Despite this, Izu chooses to forgive her, and they both realize that they need to work on communicating with each other effectively.

One of the highlights of the movie is the chemistry between the two lead actors. Oris Erhuero and Genevieve Nnaji give powerful performances, carrying most of the film on their shoulders. The emotional scenes, particularly during the flashbacks, are well executed and leave a lasting impression.

Another strength of the movie is the cinematography, capturing the rustic beauty of Nigeria's countryside, with shots of lush greenery and dusty roads. The camera work is especially impressive given that the majority of the film is set in a car.

Overall, Road to Yesterday is a thought-provoking and emotional film, exploring the complexities of love and relationships. It's an excellent character study that leaves viewers with a sense of hope that love can conquer all.
