A film byMara Okonkwo

Salt on the Windowsill

2026 · 11 min · Short film

A grandmother's kitchen, a recipe with no measurements, and one last afternoon to learn it.

Shot in a single Lagos apartment over two days, Okonkwo's second short watches a granddaughter chase a dish that exists only in her grandmother's hands. What starts as a cooking lesson becomes an argument about everything the recipe was invented to survive.
