However, an incident in the house forces her to go back to the past she had tried to forget and further reveal a disturbing secret that would throw the entire nation into shock. The hilarious experiences in the house turn the table in an unexpected way bound to keep audiences in stitches and at the edges of their chairs at the same time.
The movie parades an array of popular and award-winning actors, musicians and comedians such as Odunlade Adekola, Omawunmi Megbele, Jephthah Bowotoaka Akpororo, Ronyaman, Sambasa Nzeribe, Tony Umez, Nengi Adoki, Vivian Anani, Ibrahim Suleiman, Ghanaian actor, Kobby Acheampong, Camerounian actor and dancer, Lea Dibebe, Damilare Kuku etc. “Ebiere is a young single mother. Burdened by the weight of her past, current depravity and challenge of coping with a four-year old. She is almost a reflection of diamond in the rough. She is a young lady that has been subdued by life’s harsh incidents; one that attracts both empathy and stigmatism. Ebiere’s story and ultimate journey was developed to give a voice to so many who have been silenced by the stigma of abuse and possibly usher in a new life of openness and triumph rather than that of misery and defeatism,” the director, Ibekwe, said.
According to him, Chatroom is set inside a reality show house with nine other housemates of diverse backgrounds and characters that gives the movie a comedic feel largely due to the characters and their personas in the house. “Ebiere’s mood and personality brings a mix match of drama and comedy in the movie which reflects what life is.
