Tala

The read

It runs a compact 12m.

Synopsis

Tala is a young filipino domestic worker living with a bourgeois family on the north shore of Montreal. As she runs through her daily chores, dealing with the eccentricities of her employers, an unexpected phone call puts her at great risk of getting fired. Shot in a single over-the-shoulder long take, TALA is a satirical drama inspired by Canada's controversial live-in care-givers program.
