Onyinye Odokoro on Why Before We Fall Asleep Will Spark Conversations About Love and Parenthood

Onyinye Odokoro on Why Before We Fall Asleep Will Spark Conversations About Love and Parenthood — 1 of 6
1 / 6

Actress Onyinye Odokoro says her role as Nazo in the film *Before We Fall Asleep* explores the realities many young couples face: financial pressure, parenthood and the strain of rigid gender expectations. In the film, Nazo and Tola must confront difficult questions about shared responsibility, forgiveness and what true partnership looks like when a child enters the picture. Odokoro says the story avoids easy villains and instead invites audiences to consider how couples can choose each other over conflict. She also reflects on preparing for the emotionally demanding role, working with Tobi Bakre, and why she expects the film’s portrayal of love, family pressure and reproductive responsibility to spark divided reactions among viewers.
