The People That Live In Boxes by Les Clarke
Directed by Helena Walsh Kiely
We recieve a glimpse of the lives of Joe and Becca, two long-term rough sleepers who have carved out a fragile existence in cardboard boxes behind a factory. Though homelessness has brought them here by very different paths, the pair have formed a partnership over the years. Joe, thoughtful and guarded, keeps watch over Becca, whose restless energy and fierce attachment to her few possessions hint at the turmoil she carries from the past.
When Jenny, a mature social science student, arrives to conduct research on homelessness, her questions begin to unsettle the precarious balance of their lives. What begins as curiosity quickly exposes difficult truths. The drama increases when Martin stumbles onto the scene after one drink too many, setting an irreversible chain of events into motion.
