Strange sounding concept, a Portugese film about Great Yarmouth. It has some pretty gruesome scenes from the turkey factory early on, but stick with it because these are to set the scene around the type of work the immigrants are required to do. The film follows Tania's desparate attempts to build a better life for herself at the expense of the people coming over to work. It's hard to imagine how bad their lives in Portugal would need to be for this life to be considered the best option for any of the people involved. Interesting piece of work.
The Great Yarmouth setting adds a surreal element with the comparison between the ageing seaside resort and it's very mixed population.

Plot summary
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.
