A touching examination of the refugee ordeal unfolds on a fictional, distant Scottish isle. Here, a cluster of recent arrivals anxiously awaits the outcomes of their asylum pleas. The focal point is Omar (portrayed by Amir El-Masry), a youthful Syrian musician who bears his grandfather's cherished oud, the paramount instrument in Arabic music, all the way from his place of origin. An emotive, funny, and heartwarming tale, that was selected in several International Film Festivals such as Cannes, San Sebastián, and Toronto.
