The film was distributed by NOS Audiovisuais[2] and grossed £30,351 worldwide at the box office.
Hundreds of Portuguese immigrants seeking work arrive to the seaside resort town of Great Yarmouth on Norfolk's East Coast, three months before the Brexit vote. Tânia, also a Portuguese immigrant, dreams of quitting her job supervising her fellow immigrants in the local poultry factories slaughtering and butchering turkeys for consumption, to refurbish her English husband's decrepit hotels housing her fellow countrymen in squalid and dingy conditions into Senior Citizen's Homes.
