On Falling

Laura Carreira
Fri 28 Mar - Wed 2 Apr

A devastating debut with a beating social heart about the person behind the endless stream of online orders, from the producers of Ken Loach.

Hartverscheurend

VPRO ★★★★

Portuguese Aurora works in a large sorting center in Scotland. As orders keep pouring in and the efficiency-driven algorithm determines her workload, she struggles with the monotony of her job. She finds humanity only in her colleagues and housemates, who, like Aurora, are migrant workers. Trapped in a system where there is no time for dreams, she still enjoys simple moments of happiness and continues to hope for a way out.
