This award-winning short sees single mother Karen (Nora-Jane Noone) escape the monotony of her supermarket job through the excitement of the slot machines at a local arcade. Already with emptying pockets, Karen’s need to provide for her daughter leads her to spending more and more time working the slot machines. Small Change captures in fine detail the magnetic appeal of the slot machine and contrasts it with the morale sapping environment Karen lives and works in.
