Ayamma is the story of Prince Daraima, the charming heir to Obong Ikpaisong, repeatedly dreams of Ihuoma, a poor but beautiful maiden whose beauty is matched only by her voice.
In Daraima’s dreams, flowers blossoms and birds gather when Ihuoma sings. He is in love with the girl of his dreams.
But in the real world, Prince Daraima readies to marry Princess Ama, the arrogant child to a neighboring Monarch.
During a dance presentation to welcome Princess Ama to the kingdom, Daraima is shocked to see that one of the dancing maidens is Ihuoma, a girl who hitherto existed only in his dreams. Unbeknownst to him, this is Iko, a poor maiden in the village who’s an exact replica of Ihuoma and strangely possessing the same singing genius.
Princess Ama observes her groom-to-be captivated by Iko and resolves to nip this obvious threat in the bud.
Speaking on the movie, Emem Isong said Ayamma is an entertaining epic story told with contemporary skills.
‘This is like bringing the old Nollywood back but this time around ‘an improved version’. We have put all the elements that made people love Nollywood in the first place, the only thing we have added is improved story line, 21st century technical works and suitable characters. People know me with certain quality and I can assure you that they won’t be disappointed,” she said.
