October 2019, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk (UK). Three months before Brexit. Hundreds of Portuguese migrant workers pour into town, seeking work at the local turkey factories. Tânia (The Mother of the Portuguese), a former worker in these poultry plants, is now married to an English hotel owner. She is the perfect facilitator for the Portuguese workers, but dreams of becoming a British citizen and leaving this dirty business behind by transforming her husband’s derelict hotels into refurbished senior citizens homes.
Reviews
Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
The acting in this movie is really good.
