Don't Look Away

2015. Bradford. Adnan, a young asylum seeker, enters a community centre covered in flour & asking for help. He finds Cath, a middle-aged cleaner, who reluctantly lets him stay in her son’s empty bedroom. A split-second decision which will change her life forever. Cath becomes increasingly entangled in Adnan’s asylum claim and, as her frustrations rise, so does her desire to take action, until her estranged son Jamie returns home and wants his room back. Determined to give both Jamie and Adnan a home Cath’s house becomes a microcosm of British society, where there isn’t enough to go around, and blame is quickly passed.
