Alo

Synopsis

Alo, an undocumented overseas Filipino worker, lives in an overcrowded house-share in London. He is struck by a latent neurological problem, which causes a bout of seizures and disrupts his situation in the household. The residents of the house are posed an ultimatum; should they risk Alo’s health or call an ambulance, potentially resulting in his deportation?
