On Falling
Drama
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.
VIBE
This is a gritty, poignant slow-burn that immerses you in the stark realities of modern labor and migration. It feels authentic and observational, exploring themes of alienation, identity, and class with a resilient spirit. A somber, yet deeply human experience.
