The movie features Mercy Johnson, Majid Michel, Kofi Ajorlolo, Gavivina Tamakloe, Eddy Nartey et al. It is centered on how Shakira (portrayed by Mercy Johnson) marries Kofi Ajorlolo because of the financial difficulty she is facing. She is the type of woman who would use any man to get what she wants. Although she succeeds, for every evil deed there are consequences.

The film was rated for mature viewing by the film censors board. This is with good reasons as the film portrays certain sensuous scenes that can best be described as disturbing.

There is always the issue of actors and actresses being improperly costumed as demonstrated by the lead character, Mercy Johnson. It is difficult to visualize a married African woman being decked in some of the costumes Johnson appears in. This does not portray womanhood in good light. There are ways to look attractive without being vulgar.

Apart from the unnecessarily prolonged scenes, the plot is easily predictable, thereby taking away the element of suspense that would have driven the story forward. It seemed like a desperate effort to stretch the film to all of the three parts.

This film could have been done better because home videos should be able to change the lives of our children, adult and the society.  The children can easily learn fast from what they see on the screen. The impact of the screen can be that huge.
