Laura is a dancer who works as a bike courier to make ends meet. Over the course of one shift, as her patience is tested and her energy depletes, Laura learns she has the fortitude to survive the odds against her.

Before becoming a film critic, then a maker mainly of sharply engaged documentaries, usually in tandem with her late husband Lino Del Fra, Cécilia Mangini was a photographer. Taking pictures was something she did all her life, alongside whatever else she was working on. In 1965 Mangini and Del Fra went to war-torn Vietnam to make a film they never finished. More than half a century later, she returned to these images, moving and still, some of which she found again by accident.
