Written by Vlad Butucea, directed by Mojisola Elufowoju.
Silkworm is the story of two young women, Abidemi and Omolade, living in a Glasgow tower block, seeking asylum from the UK Home Office on the basis of their sexual orientation, and waiting to hear the result of their case. How do they prove their claim, and how far will they be pushed in order to justify it? A witty, intimate and intense study of two vulnerable, strong women as they desperately seek the words to help them navigate their way through a savage and dehumanising system — told throughout with a lightness of touch and mordant humour.
