When Nigerian-born Isio (Ronkẹ Adékoluẹjo), who has lived undocumented in the UK for two years, is caught and sent to the Hatchworth Removal Centre, she hopes that by strictly following the rules, she will receive a fair asylum hearing and secure her release—despite her charismatic roommate Farah warning her that this hope is naive. Trapped inside, Isio and Farah fall into a tender and poetic love that beautifully reflects the Black queer experience, inspired by 2020 Screen International Star of Tomorrow, director Joy Gharoro-Akpojotor’s own journey through the UK asylum process.
