Award-winning drama that explores the silent, vital struggle to find meaning and connection in a world designed to keep us apart.

Set against a landscape dominated by an algorithm-driven gig economy, Aurora is a Portuguese migrant working as a warehouse picker in Edinburgh, trapped between the confines of a vast distribution centre and the solitude of her own bedroom. As she seeks out every opportunity to resist the alienation and isolation that threaten her sense of self, she continues to hope for a better life.

Debut feature from Edinburgh-based filmmaker Laura Carreira, working with Ken Loach’s Sixteen Films (producers of I, Daniel Blake, Sorry We Missed You and The Old Oak), starring Joana Santos, Inês Vaz, Piotr Sikora, Jake McGarry and Neil Leiper. Winner of the Best Director award at San Sebastián International Film Festival 2024 and the Sutherland Award and the BFI London Film Festival 2024.
