Limbo

There is wonderful absurdist humour in the fish-way-out-of-water story of Omar, a Syrian musician, and three other asylum-seekers marking time on a remote Scottish island while their applications are assessed. But there is heartache and loss too. Ben Sharrock tenderly weaves these threads together in a memorable and uplifting tapestry of humanity.
