Failed asylum seekers Alfred Islami and Wan Yun Ji want more than anything to remain in Scotland. Within the oppressive walls of the Removal Centre, Wan finds hope via the love of a good woman, whilst Alfred refuses to surrender the dream of having his own bio-dynamic farm. A disquieting comedy about hope.
