This is a film made with the best of intentions – and it has some good insights into the loneliness and isolation of seeking asylum in the UK. Bosco is sent to live with other asylum seekers on a military base while his application is processed. Bosco and Yasmin hang out together, though it’s obvious that for him the friendship feels like something more. Then, one of the asylum seekers at his accommodation is threatened with deportation to Rwanda. It all feels muddled and contrived – a further script edit might have resulted in a more rewarding drama.
