Welcome (15)

Bilal, a 17 year-old Kurdish boy, has travelled through the Middle East and Europe to join his girlfriend, freshly immigrated to England. But his journey comes to an abrupt end when he is stopped on the French side of the Channel. Having decided to swim across, Bilal goes to a local swimming pool to train. There he meets Simon, a swimming instructor, who decides to risk everything and take Bilal under his wing, giving him shelter and swimming lessons in an effort to win back his estranged wife.An ode to the abandoned immigrants trapped on the shores of Calais and the good Samaritans who take risks to help them.
