Wiki.

Braids on a Bald Head is a 2010 Nigerian short film directed by Ishaya Bako about the culture of the Hausa people. It won the Best Short Film award at the 8th Africa Movie Academy Awards. Clarence Peters was the cinematographer of the film.

It tells the story of Hauwa, who is a totally submissive Islamic wife, who does whatever her husband tells her to do irrespective of her convenience. Her husband, Musa determines her sexual and financial freedom. On the other hand, Samira is an independent woman, who recently got to lodge within Hauwas' compound. Despite initially being intrigued on the idea that a woman of her age should ideally be in her husband house, Hauwa and Samira began to develop a friendship, until Samira makes it clear with a sudden mouth-to-mouth kiss that she wants a sexual relationship with Hauwa. Even though Hauwa recognized the act as an abomination, this event and her bonding with Samira gave her the courage stand up to the mistreatment she has been enduring from her husband.
