班比诺和巴瓦的关系面临考验，他们一边环拉各斯骑行参加摄影比赛，一边学着应对对彼此的感情。班比诺在自我怀疑中挣扎，而巴瓦确信他们彼此的感觉代表着某种更深刻的东西。班比诺意外遭遇车祸不得不依靠巴瓦的帮助，他于是也开始质疑自己的性取向。这种亲密却并没有使得情况好转：班比诺既困惑又愤怒，最终将巴瓦赶出了他的生活。心碎又沮丧的巴瓦决心将班比诺的性取向透露给一群暴徒，使他遭到暴力攻击，巴瓦在一旁看着，内心五味杂陈。

Bambino and Bawa’s relationship is tested as they navigate their feelings for each other while riding around Lagos for a photo competition. Bambino grapples with his own self-doubt and uncertainty, while Bawa is convinced that their feelings are a sign of something deeper. When Bambino suffers an accident and is forced to rely on Bawa’s assistance, he begins to question his own sexuality. The close proximity between them only intensifies the situation, and Bambino, overwhelmed by confusion and anger, ultimately pushes Bawa out of his life. However, when Bambino returns with an offer of friendship, Bawa insists that he make a decision. In the end, Bambino decides to reject Bawa, leading to a heartbroken and frustrated Bawa exposing Bambino’s sexuality to a mob, resulting in a violent attack on Bambino as Bawa watches with mixed emotions.

《黑白之间是彩色世界》始于我献给自己最爱的城市拉各斯的一封情书。故事讲述的是一位快递骑手爱上了自己的城市，并拍摄了一些标志性照片，来重新找回关于已故父母的逝去回忆。但是在一次可能是我此生最难忘的经历后，这个故事有了悲剧性的变化。我目睹一个男人因为性取向被私刑处死。这件事令我震惊，让我超越自己无知的目光，超越最初对这座城市浮夸的爱之宣言，让我意识到拉各斯对局外人或“他者”有多么危险。人们可能会因为走错路或穿着稍微不同而殒命。我立马意识到自己必须讲述班比诺的故事，他作为一个隐喻的局外人，在与过去和解的同时，也开始质疑自己的身份认同。

Colours started out as a love letter to a city I love so much – Lagos. The story was about a dispatch rider who fell in love with his city and would take iconic pictures to recapture the lost memories of his dead parents. But that story took a tragic change after I witnessed what was, perhaps, the most haunting experience of my life. I saw a man lynched and killed because of his sexual orientation. The event shocked me, and it began lifting the veil of ignorance from my eyes, to see beyond my initial pompous declaration of love for a city. I realized how dangerous Lagos could be to outsiders or ‘others’. People can lose their lives just by turning the wrong corner or by dressing just a little differently. I knew immediately I had to tell the story of Bambino, a metaphorical outsider who finds himself questioning his own identity while reconciling his past.
