Despite a blockage that prevents him from playing his instrument, he continues to take it in a chest wherever he goes. He is of Syrian origin and arrives on a fictional Scottish island. Omar, the main protagonist, is a former oud player (plucked string instrument next to the lute, used in classical Arabic music). It is therefore not surprising that the film focuses on this issue.

Faced with crazy inhabitants and grotesque situations, everyone clings to the promise of a better life. Synopsis: On a small fishing island in Scotland, a group of asylum seekers are waiting to hear their fate.
