Set during one shift at a fine dining restaurant, working-class waitress Sarah explores the social class divide between her and the upper class.
This 10-minute short film explores the profound social class disparities that permeate British society.
Sarah is a dedicated working-class waitress at an upscale restaurant in the heart of London, England. The film unfolds during a single shift, juxtaposing the opulent dining hall with the gruelling kitchen where Sarah toils.
She wasn’t born into wealth but feels she belongs within this world as soon as she married into it. She was once a woman with aspirations, a career she was building, a life she was crafting. It wasn’t needed any more. Edward, her husband, took care of everything. Though she lost some of her drive, and some of her individuality, she has found comfort in losing herself. To that, she has thrown herself into the future, into a child who will be like his father, friends who she will become. She is part of this world, and she will make sure that is known. Defensive, still a little awestruck by the opulence, eager to follow those she deems more connected to the world she wants to inhabit.
