Limbo is an unexpected comedy about following a dream, no matter where it takes you. The story is set on a fictional remote Scottish island where a group of new refugees await the results of their asylum claims. It centers on Omar (Amir El-Masry), a young Syrian musician who is burdened by his grandfather's oud, which he has carried all the way from his homeland. (Apple TV+)
