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.
Amelia on the surface, appears more considerate to those around her. She has more patience for service workers, and more empathy for those around her, but this has its limits. Around her mother, any of her empathy is replaced by the overbearing weight of her self-consciousness. She is viciously embarrassed and with that all of her defence of those her family exploits shrivels up. She is one to extend a coy smile, though offering no more in the way of support should push come to shove. Kind, anxious, introverted.
