Among them is Tânia, known as “The Mother of the Portuguese”, a former factory worker who has married an English hotel owner and now acts as the local fixer for incoming laborers. Tânia dreams of becoming a British citizen and leaving this brutal world behind. But the arrival of a new group of desperate migrants shakes her fragile position of power, igniting a chain of events that threatens to consume her carefully built life. With a background in visual arts and theatre, director Marco Martins crafts a deeply unsettling, noir-tinged social thriller that explores the hidden violence of economic migrancy. Shot on location in Norfolk, and based on real testimonies from migrant workers, the film reveals the bleak underside of post-Brexit Britain, where exploitation and modern servitude quietly thrive behind closed factory doors. Beatriz Batarda delivers a fearless, career-defining performance in a role born of immersive research—including time spent working in actual poultry factories. With stark cinematography and eerie atmosphere, Great Yarmouth: Provisional Figures is an arresting meditation on power, desperation, and the cost of survival. “An authentic insight into migrant workers in Britain, the feature drama Great Yarmouth: Provisional Figures is an engrossing work.” — Deadline “Brexit Britain offers only hellish horrors to exploited migrant workers in this bleakly compelling social-realist thriller.” — The Film Verdict “A chilling essay in hard social realism, but with a nightmarish expressionistic spin.” — Screen Daily “An astonishing piece of cinema that pushes boundaries and provokes thought. It shows us a very different side of life we all assume we understand.” — Cinephile Shorter synopsis: As Brexit approaches, Portuguese workers flood Great Yarmouth. Tânia dreams of transforming her husband’s shabby hotel into elderly housing—but when a worker dies under murky circumstances and his brother arrives, her vision—and her loyalties—are challenged.
