Clarissa is a drama that had its premiere in the Directors' Fortnight section of the 2026 Cannes Film Festival. It is a modern-day, Lagos-set adaptation of Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway, made by directors Arie Esiri and Chuko Esiri and starring Sophie Okonedo, Toheeb Jimoh, Ayo Edebiri and David Oyelowo. The film follows society woman Clarissa as she prepares to host a party at her home in Lagos, Nigeria, where she will unexpectedly encounter once-intimate friends from her youth. As the group reflects on their shared past over the course of a single night, memories of their intricate relationships, passionate love, hidden desires and lost aspirations give rise to bittersweet reckoning.
