Aurora, a Portuguese woman, works as a warehouse operative in a distribution centre for an online giant in Edinburgh, Scotland. Caught between the monotonous daily routine in the anonymous warehouse and the loneliness of her small flat, she is in danger of withering away in isolation and becoming estranged from herself. This touching and moving film portrays Aurora's struggle to maintain human connection in the algorithm-driven big economy and to avoid losing herself in the age of digitalisation.
