Great Yarmouth: Provisional Figures provides a detailed look at identity and movement. By focusing on a Portuguese migrant protagonist, the film challenges traditional British-centered narratives and explores the complexities of multi-layered identity. Tâania is shown as someone who actively shapes her own path, rather than being a passive character. However, the film's focus is limited to socio-economic changes and labor shifts, without addressing LGBTQ+ identities or disabilities.

Official Synopsis
October 2019, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk (UK). Three months before Brexit. Hundreds of Portuguese migrant workers pour into town, seeking work at the local turkey factories. Tânia (The Mother of the Portuguese), a former worker in these poultry plants, is now married to an English hotel owner. She is the perfect facilitator for the Portuguese workers, but dreams of becoming a British citizen and leaving this dirty business behind by transforming her husband’s derelict hotels into refurbished senior citizens homes.
