Nollywood filmmaker Uzoamaka Power has revealed that her younger sister’s relationship inspired her to create her romantic film, Love Language.
Speaking during a panel session at NECLive 2026, Power said she developed the story in 2022 after observing how her sister and her partner communicated and understood each other.
She explained that the experience inspired the film’s central theme, which explores how people build meaningful connections despite differences in language and communication.
The film follows two characters, Chioma and Abdul, who speak different languages but find ways to understand one another.
Power said she was particularly drawn to exploring the different ways people express themselves and form emotional connections.
While acknowledging the commercial appeal of romance films, the filmmaker said the emotional impact of Love Language and its connection with audiences were especially rewarding.
She added that she was pleased the story resonated with viewers beyond its romantic appeal.
