Info

When Mohammed realises that Al-Shabab’s ‘freedom’ fight mostly targets innocent civilians, he regrets his decision and escapes. Mohammed met his wife, Fathi, in Somalia and they now have a son, whom Mohammed has never seen because Fathi is a British citizen and has travelled back to London. The film follows the young couple’s attempts at being reunited as a family in a world of global politics in order to create a future for themselves and their son.
