Left Behind, Still Standing
Synopsis
Left on hold with the immigration office one night, she discovers that the defunct plant mysteriously comes back to life.
As her own job insecurity looms and the town edges towards oblivion, Morana must face the fragility of her own existence - and how much she has truly in common with the laid-off workers.
