Jackie Appiah Fakes AIDS Test In A New Movie 'Summary'

The new movie Summary is one hell of a confusing movie. The movie will pass for another typical African movie. It’s a kind of movie you need total concentration to watch to be able to understand and to grasp the moral lesson.

Prince David Osei played Chris, the husband of Lisa played by Jackie Appiah. After their wedding and on the honeymoon bed Chris finds a HIV/AIDS test result paper which seems to suggest that his just wedded wife, Lisa is HIV Positive.

Unknowingly to him, Lisa with the help of her doctor faked those results to put off her former boyfriend who was desperately calling for a come back. (In this modern world, who would want to date an AIDS patient?).

Chris’s decision not to divorce his wife immediately still amazes me, yet he remained married to her but they never make love or had sex knowing very well that sex is part of marriage.

Meanwhile, after several years of marriage without sex, Lisa was beginning to feel the heat, which made her look elsewhere after all she is a human being made of blood and hormones.

The man (Emmanuel Emoabino) she falls on happens to be her husband’s brother who stays with them in the same house. Chris also seeks happiness in between the legs of their house help. What happens next? Find out

There are whole lots of things in the movie which didn’t make sense to me. Why didn’t Lisa tell her husband of the fake AIDS test before their marriage? I thought it was appropriate for her to approach him and tell him the truth before committing to each other? And what prevented Chris from also approaching Lisa about the AIDS test? Instead of punishing her with a sexless marriage?

And why the idea of part 1 & 2? When the title summary suggests that both parts can be summarized to make it one part. Well, summary features Jackie Appiah, Prince David Osei, Vicky Zugah, Suraya Mensah and others.
The movie Summary was produced by Emmanuel Emoabino who also played Chris’ brother in the movie for Stene Production in collaboration with Paraklet Pictures. It will be premiered on Friday, August 13 at the National Theatre in Accra with a grand red carpet.
