For SS3 students, this is the year that will define them, but not in the way they thought. Kemi, the girl next door with no idea of her stunning charm, navigates the chaotic world of crushes and heartbreak. Meanwhile, Tola, the self-assured Queen Bee, thrives in the attention from boys, until her pedestal starts shaking.
Enter Emeka, the heartbreak king who isn't as invincible as he seems, and a trio of friends caught in the crossfire of their own messy entanglements. Between stolen glances in classrooms, a principal's constant scrutiny, and a secret admirer, this final year will leave them questioning what they want, and who they are becoming.
In this slice-of-life tale, filled with the ups and downs of teenage life in a Nigerian secondary school, "The Year of Almosts" reminds us that sometimes, the journey is about all the "almosts"—almost falling in love, almost fighting, almost losing, and almost becoming who you're meant to be.
