Synopsis by Olivia Cantor

Directed by Anthony Woodley, this British drama film features Lena Headey as Wendy, a strict and straight-laced immigration officer who is assigned a high-profile asylum case involving a refugee named Haile (Ivanno Jeremiah). Haile’s refugee journey spanned 5,000 kilometers where he crossed dangerous oceans and land areas, until he arrived in the U.K. Wendy’s task is to uncover whether Haile’s story is valid or if he is hiding a more alarming reason for his asylum application.
