Night Light

Somewhere in England two teenagers seeking asylum, fearing deportation, hide out in an abandoned factory.

As the long cold night unfolds, they imagine their future and tell each other about their past. In the midst of sharing food and stories, they hear someone else arrive. Terrified, they creep towards the door where they find a familiar figure. The three of them talk through the night about home, belonging and the system… But the children remain wary, at any point he can reveal their hiding place, turn them over to the authorities and send them back to their countries and to danger.
