This really is stretching it a little...

Usually, when a 'client' employs a sex-worker, it's not for meaningful conversation...about god and asylum!

As a statement on refugees...well, it's not going to do them any favours!

The(ir) Blurb...

Omar has been living in London for a decade. He spends his days working in the City, and his nights ignoring phone calls from his family back in Lebanon. One evening, restless after another pleading voicemail from his mother, he reaches for his phone and invites over Marco, a Spanish student newly-arrived in London, who’s doing sex work to earn some extra cash. But when Marco arrives, Omar can’t shake the feeling that something’s not right about the young man. As their night together progresses truths are revealed, defences are lowered, and Omar discovers the lengths that Marco has gone to in reaching London…
