A gently observant, bittersweet portrait of displacement and waiting, where humor and human connection emerge amid the liminal space of asylum limbo.

An offbeat observation of refugees waiting to be granted asylum on a fictional remote Scottish island. It focuses on Omar, a young Syrian musician who is burdened by the weight of his grandfather’s oud, which he has carried all the way from his homeland.
