A gritty, introspective portrait of a migrant worker's struggle against systemic alienation and isolation in contemporary Britain.

Aurora, a Portuguese migrant, works as an order picker in a warehouse in Edinburgh, Scotland. Caught between the walls of a huge distribution centre and the solitude of her own room, Aurora tries to seize every opportunity to resist the alienation and isolation that threaten her identity.
