Trapped for over a year in Ireland’s immigration system, Aisha has built a fragile version of a life for herself at the Direct Provision Centre she calls home. Having fled Nigeria from a violent gang that murdered members of her family, she is desperately trying to find a permanent place to call home, where she and her mother can be reunited and live without fear.A quiet and gentle woman, Aisha is much loved by the community at the centre and in the hair salon nearby where she holds down a part-time job. As she navigates the complex and discomfiting legal system to seek settlement in Ireland, she sparks an unlikely friendship with a new guard at the centre. A former prisoner, Conor’s life experience and calming presence resonate with Aisha, allowing for a tentative romance to begin. But, as she continues to live in a state of limbo, the bond formed between the pair comes under threat.To secure her future, Aisha must try to accept and share her traumatic past and in doing so, put her faith in the love and human connection she has found in the midst of a dehumanising system.
