Set against a landscape dominated by an algorithm-driven gig economy, Carriera’s directorial debut explores the silent, vital struggle to find meaning. Aurora (Joana Santos), a Portuguese migrant working in a warehouse in Edinburgh, is trapped between the confines of a vast distribution centre and the solitude of her own bedroom. She seeks connection in a world designed to keep people apart, she seeks a better life for herself. Carriera’s extremely important and enveloping film won the Sutherland Award for Best First Feature in London and the Silver Shell in San Sebastian.
