Helen lives with her ex-husband, his 20-year-old girlfriend, their new baby - and his dying mother Gwen. Her life is a grind, and like all the other women she toils with at the local chicken factory, is spent in service of the clock.

Brian lives alone in the remote countryside. After a particularly harsh winter, with noone to talk to and a depression descending, Brian does what any sane person would do when faced with such a melancholic situation: he builds himself a robot. This is the debut feature from director Jim Archer and a Grandy Jury Prize nominee at Sundance 2022.
