After I saw Chapter 1 of Shirley Frimpong-Manso’s ‘Adams Apples’ I wrote in my little review that I felt the pace was rather slow. Well, the pace doesn’t get any better in the second chapter as it revolves around the Adams and their activities within a day. Nonetheless, judging from the little teaser from Chapter 3 that I saw at a recent screening, it is a good filler for what is yet to come in the series and quite frankly I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds.

In ‘ Adams Apple Chapter 2: Twisted Connections’ the day starts off rocky for Kukua Adams as she knocks heads with her new boss over her creative prowess; meanwhile Denu takes a firm decision to let go off the past which seem to rock Kukua’s world even harder. And when Jennifer tries to conclude a house sale with her new young client, things take a dramatic turn, spiraling events out of control and deepening already strained relations with her secretary.

Also, an ugly pre-divorce fight ensues between Baaba and her husband which pushes the latter to give Baaba an ultimatum if she has to continue to spend time with their daughter. A big announcement at a meeting with her colleagues spurs Mrs. Adams on to take bold steps towards her past, soon realizing though that history may have repeated itself. Meanwhile Albert seeks legal advice on how to proceed with his land court case and a worried father welcomes home a distraught daughter, a relationship that is set to change the Adams lives forever. A lot could happen in a day… like the discovery of a new family.

Yes a lot can happen in a day so we can all forget about the pace and enjoy this chapter. I however found it particularly difficult to swallow the ‘trapped and unlawful entry scenes’ where a lady was trapped inside a locked house with her boyfriend struggling to break her free. The cameras showed us a double breasted front door which by all means would allow unlocking from inside. These types of doors normally unlock from inside to allow for the opening of both panels of the door. Anyway, I’m by no means an architect so check out the premiere of Chapter 2 at the National Theatre, June 3 and let’s see if you would agree with me. It will also open at the Silverbird Cinema, Accra Mall from June 10, 2011.
