Great Yarmouth
Synopsis
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.
Tania, who calls herself The Mother of the Portuguese, is a former worker in these factories. She is now married to an Englishman and works as a facilitator, arranging for new arrivals from Portugal to be accommodated in her husband's decaying hotels. She dreams of transforming these hotels into refurbished retirement homes, and the tragic death of a worker who owed her husband money only makes her more desperate to change her life. But when the worker's brother arrives in town seeking answers, Tania finds herself unexpectedly attracted to him, and she must decide where her loyalties lie.
