Omar, a charismatic Afghan teenager, is at the point of having his refugee status decided, when the arrival of a boy from back home threatens to change everything. Forced into a position where the outcome could be the difference between life and death, his only options are to tell the unbelievable truth or to tell a good story. For Omar, and thousands like him, the asylum system is a cruel game of chance. Based on real-life stories, "Leave to Remain" is a coming of age drama that depicts a world hidden from view. Featuring a soundtrack by the award-winning band Alt-J, this provocative debut feature from BAFTA winner Bruce Goodison introduces an ensemble cast of emerging talent, young refugees, and acclaimed actor Toby Jones.
