About the film
At 24, Damian leaves his village in Moldova and heads for the West to save money and build a house. His life unfolds between two realities: the rural community where human relationships and the rhythm of the seasons shape everyday life, and the automated world of a German warehouse, where every movement is coordinated by Lydia. Damian’s daily routine and Lydia’s voice commands reveal a world in which work and human communication are being reshaped by technology.
