Hurricane In A Rose Garden

hurricane in a rose garden

Hurricane in the Rose Garden is a family comedy about what happens when a married couple’s life is turned upside-down during an unwelcome visit from their in-laws, who decide not to leave until the wife is pregnant, per their Nigerian custom. The movie stars Tangi Miller (”Madea’s Family Reunion”), Pascal Atuma (”Only in America”), Aloma Wright (”Scrubs”), Oris Erhuero (”Sometimes in April”), Tanjareen Martin (”Johnson Family Vacation”), Karri Turner (”Heroes”), Hakeem Kae-Kazim (”Hotel Rwanda”), and Yun Choi (”Barbershop” - Series).

After five years of marriage, Sade never knew that it was a taboo in African culture to still be without a child. She’ll find out when Joseph’s mother and younger brother come from Africa and refuse to leave until Sade is pregnant or gives Joseph a divorce so he can marry another woman! The story was inspired by a conversation the writer/producer Pascal Atuma had with his parents about a past relationship. Both Atuma and the director Ime N. Etuk thought that this culture clash over marriage was ripe for a movie.
