《失落園》Limbo｜班．夏拉克 Ben SHARROCK｜英國 UK｜2020｜DCP｜Color｜104min
強風吹拂的蘇格蘭偏遠離島，天賦異稟的年輕敘利亞音樂家歐瑪與其三位同鄉友人正等待難民證結果出爐。他們被迫參加當地詭異的「文化意識」課，接受一番令人困惑的思考教育。島上唯一的公共電話亭，是他與遠方家人通話的慰藉。歐瑪帶著祖傳的烏德琴，卻因手臂骨折而無法彈奏，失去音樂家存在的意義。漫步在凜冽的寒風中，他想起留在家鄉奮戰的兄弟，對比眼下的處境，歐瑪不禁開始質疑當初離開的決定。
靈感來自導演大馬士革友人的真實故事，運用簡潔的框景運鏡，鋪陳主角歐瑪的自我意識之旅。片名「Limbo」取自天主教教義，「未曾聽過福音而死亡之人，靈魂將滯留懸而未果之界域」，以此影射難民主角在異鄉的痛苦景況。英國導演班．夏拉克融合了英式幽默與荒誕主義，完成這部夾雜淚水與笑聲的感人憂鬱喜劇。
In a remote corner of Scotland’s Outer Hebrides, gifted young musician Omar and his fellow Syrian asylum seekers endure a puzzling cultural-awareness lesson from an oddball pair of locals. With little else to do while awaiting letters about their refugee status claims, Omar and his flatmates otherwise pass the time queuing up to hear the voices of loved ones on the island’s only payphone. Unable to play due to a broken arm, Omar carries his grandfather’s oud with him while wandering the lonely landscape, as if weighed down by both the burden and the comfort of memories of home and the life he knew. His brother, who stayed behind to fight in Syria, is a source of worry and an object of hero-worship as Omar questions his own decision to have ever left.

敘利亞難民困在蘇格蘭，面對進退兩難的尷尬有點聯想到航站情緣的少對白版，隨著時間的推演，自己來到異地到底對還是不對的的無解問號故事，
