Synopsis

With the demolition of a once-thriving steel factory set to begin, environmental scientist Morana is onsite to oversee the process. However, as the dismantling date looms closer, so too does the final day of her visa.
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.
