This movie is basically about to high school lovers from the university of Lagos - love and James .the movie shows more of the stress James had to go through to get love into a relationship, James being the son of a poor lawyer and a trader mother and love being the daughter of a general. The movie shows a love affair that was just too sweet something anybody will wish for you know what i mean running around flowers, ice cream on the nose and. Etc. from what it seems they were really into each other even though the parents of joy didn’t approve of their daughter with a less privileged man, something every mother will wish for their daughters “marry a wealthy man” this love story started to divert into a total confusion when love’s parent asked her to travel out of the country for her masters, James was too ‘crazy’ about her and he wasn’t ready to leave her for 1 minute, they both came to an agreement that she wasn’t going to go and James believed he still had his love by his side. He went out 1 day only to come back to meet his wife gone and a letter addressed to him” dear James I am sorry that this has to happen but we have to move on with our lives if we want to become real lovers please don’t miss me get a job and when I come back we can get married, your true love, love.” Next scene shown was 5yrs after at a dinner hosted by a friend of love – Laura for her newly found love the crowd was large and there was lot of music.
Coming through the door was love after 5yrs of accomplishments she had finally returned and has searched everywhere and James was nowhere to be found. She walked I and there were lots of greetings from everywhere, everyone settled down waiting for the love birds to arrive, just about this time love had to visit the ladies, as she was walking without focus she mistakenly spilled her drink on opposite love to Laura who happened to be James she was shocked and shouted “James where have you been I have searched all over for you, he looked at her with a wired look and said miss am sorry so I know you” she explained herself and it happened he doesn’t remember. James was involved in an accident which led to a memory loss on the day she left and it was Laura that took him in and catered for him one thing led to another and he started to remember things and places just about a day to loves marriage to David her fiancée James remembered all that had happened and ran back to his love and they both cried and decided to run away as she went home to pack her things she found her friend – Laura making love with her fiancée David, she laughed and ran away with James to live happy ever after.
