Limbo at G.F.T.
4 – 12 August, 2021
Ben Sharrock’s deadpan comedy-drama brings a completely fresh perspective to the life of a migrant.
Musician Omar (the wonderful Amir El-Masry) has fled conflict in Syria and now finds himself at a desolate refugee centre on a remote Scottish island. Separated from home and family, he waits in limbo for others to decide his future. Omar’s desperate situation is marked by open hostility, offers of friendship and small acts of kindness from the strangers all around him. A beautiful, achingly poignant tale that will break your heart on the way to warming your soul.
