| Synopsis: | The film centres on a London immigrant community which is daily joined by new arrivals from Jamaica. These men and women 'from the sun' are quickly disillusioned because the 'mother country' they have entered turns out to be cold and hostile. The film ends on a hopeful note as the Jamaican community is held together by their shared experience of this 'wonderful and strange' England. | |
