A little angel, banished from heaven for a misdemeanour, can only return if he observes and records seven acts of real goodness on earth. Homesick and cold – and not believing that good deeds are possible on earth anyway – he does his best, meeting some unexpected people and actions on the way. But will he ever be able to circumvent the edict banishing him and get back home? A modern day mystery play.

No Biscuits in Heaven filmed in Nigeria

Below are filmset photos from live scenes – the man being forced  to the ground about to be lynched and probably on fire are where a young man suspected of stealing a bit of bread is saved by a streetside singer.  'Francis' who has a beautiful voice intervenes by singing about peace and harmony. He is actually one of Nigeria’s leading screen/TV celebrities, and we are privileged to have attracted him to our screenplay. He also appears later as the leader of the church choir.
