A compelling debut with a beating social heart about the people behind the endless stream of online orders, from the producers of Ken Loach. Aurora, a Portuguese woman, works in a large sorting center in Scotland. As orders continue to pour in and the efficiency-driven algorithm determines her workload, she struggles with the monotony of her job. She only finds humanity among her colleagues and housemates, who, like Aurora, are migrant workers. Trapped in a system where there is no time for dreams, she nevertheless enjoys simple moments of happiness and continues to hope for a way out.
