Frequently Asked Questions
What is Limbo about? 
Limbo is a heartwarming and offbeat observation of refugees waiting to be granted asylum on a fictional remote Scottish island. The story revolves around Omar, a young Syrian musician burdened by the weight of his grandfather’s oud, which he has carried all the way from his homeland. As Omar awaits the results of his asylum claim, he shares a sparsely furnished house with three other men, each with their own unique story and dreams. Through their daily struggles and cultural awareness classes, the men find solace in their friendship and their shared desire to pursue their passions. With a touch of humor and poignancy, Limbo sheds light on the refugee experience and the power of music to bring people together.
