Synopsis
Two African brothers look at some strange mold growing on their ceiling, but they don’t want to complain about it. At dinner, they see something nasty in their soup; some girl tried to expose the food, but she got deported, so they can’t complain. They’re both very recent immigrants, and they’re still in the process of getting settled in Ireland.
The brothers continue to hear and see things telling them both to go home. The older brother tells the young that everything is going to be fine.
It’s not fine.
