'Travail' is a meditation on the erosion of collective consciousness in the shadow of modernity. It unfolds as a journey through dissonance, where the remnants of lost revolutions linger like ghosts in the periphery. It is about the subtle decay of hope, the quiet rebellion in the heart of despair, and the elusive spark of revolution buried beneath the surface

Ricky and his family have been fighting an uphill struggle against debt since the 2008 financial crash. An opportunity to wrestle back some independence appears with a shiny new van and the chance to run a franchise as a self-employed delivery driver. It's hard work, and his wife's job as a carer is no easier. The family unit is strong but when both are pulled in different directions everything comes to breaking point.

"Boxcar" Bertha Thompson, a transient woman in Arkansas during the violence-filled Depression of the early '30s, meets up with rabble-rousing union man "Big" Bill Shelly and the two team up to fight the corrupt railroad establishment.
