– Coming next week to Plimoth Cinema is “Limbo,” a BAFTA (the British Oscars) nominee for best British picture and best debut. Writer-director Ben Sharrock deftly crafts a humorous and poignant story of what happens to immigrants who’ve fled their war-torn homeland in search of a better life in a new land. “Limbo” centers on Omar, a promising young Syrian musician (Amir El-Masry) stuck on a remote, wind-whipped Scottish island awaiting the results of his asylum claim. Omar is tethered to his oud – a lute-like stringed instrument – but never plays it because it doesn’t sound the same as it did at home.
