Limbo, Ben Sharrock’s powerful dramedy about the personal Scottish hell of one Syrian refugee.
Scotland may not have been the first place Omar (El-Masry) had in mind when he fled war-torn Syria, but it is where he finds himself waiting out notice of his permanent refugee status. As an accomplished musician, Omar carries with him the memories of his former life; meanwhile, his brother Nabil (Nashif) stayed behind to fight, and Omar is wracked with anger and guilt about their different paths. Omar’s only real comfort in an uncomfortable country is Farhad (Bhai), another temporary refugee who has spent years waiting for his paperwork to come through and who gladly offers to show Omar the ropes.
