Saw this at IFFR 2025, the International Film Festival Rotterdam. This movie can easily be considered an indictment against the sort of slavery we (you and I, the warehouse customers) bring about to obtain the stuff we want delivered on our doorstep. It is not slavery in the literal sense, since they get minimum wage and are not mistreated in any way, but it is a daunting sight anyway to see how their daily grind works.
And alas, their life outside the warehouse is not much better. Compact housing, and nothing much to do outside work hours. Making friends beyond the obligatory Hello and Where Are You From in passing, is virtually impossible, neither at work nor at "home".
All the people we meet on screen are passersby, and we don't know much about them. Even Aurora, the center of the story, is a black box for us, and remains that until the finale. No opportunity for us to invest in the characters, if only to feel along with their work circumstances, and neither are we involved in their life at home or their leisure activities or even their reasons for being there.
All in all, we are flies on the wall, at work as well as at home. We should feel guilty because of causing all this "slavery", but we don't. We could pity their way of living, but we don't. We should want to know how these people arrived there and what (other) plans they have with their lives, but the movie doesn't tell us anything. A missed opportunity, or done on purpose??
