Gone Too Far! is a sparky fresh comedy based on the Olivier Award-winning stage play by Bola Agbaje, and directed by debut Bristish-Nigerian director Destiny Ekaragha. The film follows two estranged teenage brothers, Yemi, raised in London, and Ikudayisi, played by multi-award winning actor O.C. Ukeje, raised in Lagos. Over the course of a single day in the London district of Peckham, the brothers, who are meeting for the first time, struggle to accept each other for who they are. While with great doses of humour, the film tackles black identity and post-national issues, where boundaries between what it means to be British and Nigerian seem as blurred as subjective.
