Night Shift

Night Shift is set in the rural Greek town of Mesolongi, and zeroes in on a fast-food joint and its staff as they brave yet another night shift. It shows the working rhythms of the workplace and follows the shop’s delivery girl as she rides her scooter around the empty streets of her hometown, delivering food to people’s homes.
