TOO LATE… He Came Home for His Mother’s Body

He believed that sending money was enough.
That as long as the bills were paid, his absence didn’t matter.
He told himself his mother was strong.
Strong enough to wait.
Strong enough to forgive.
Strong enough to survive… without him.

He was wrong.

This is a devastating long-form drama told in the cinematic style of African Tales—a story about absence, silence, and the moment a son realizes he did not come home to save his mother… only to recover her body from the river.

Set in a rural Nigerian village during flood season, this story follows a mother who waited, a daughter-in-law who broke under pressure, and a son who arrived too late. The river becomes more than water—it becomes a witness, carrying secrets, guilt, and the final truth no one wanted to face.

Unlike stories that blame fate or nature, African Tales reveals something far more painful:
sometimes death comes not from hatred… but from delay.
From choices made far away.
From silence where protection should have been.

This video contains intense emotional themes including family conflict, elder neglect, domestic violence, death, and psychological trauma. Viewer discretion is strongly advised.

This is not a story about how a mother died.
It is a story about how she was failed—long before the water touched her.

At its core, African Tales tells stories that ask difficult questions:
What does it mean to be a good son?
Can money replace presence?
And what happens when “I’ll come home soon” becomes too late?
