A lonely Portuguese migrant working as a picker in a Scottish warehouse struggles to forge connections in an immersive character study that also shines light on the precarity of modern employment.
Writer/director Laura Carreira immerses us in the life of Aurora (Joana Santos) in her moving character study of a Portuguese migrant working as a picker in a Scottish warehouse. Aurora's workdays are dictated by the bleep of a machine and her evenings are strained by loneliness in shared accommodation as she dreams of securing a better job. An empathetic social realist snapshot that offers a window into the financial precariousness of the gig economy, delivered with a lightness of touch that stresses the importance of everyday connection.
