Aurora (Joana Santos) is a Portuguese migrant in Scotland, working at a vast, anonymous distribution warehouse. The precarity and indignity of her invisibilised work in an algorithm-driven economy is matched by the loneliness of her domestic life, though she seeks out every opportunity to resist alienation.

Laura Carreira’s impressive debut film, awarded at the London and San Sebastián film festivals, and co-produced by Ken Loach's Sixteen Films, is a nuanced and graceful depiction of the struggle for connection in a world rife with exploitation.
