The Old Oak

Faithful to his deeply political and human-centered cinema, Ken Loach captures, with his characteristic moral clarity, a world struggling to rediscover the meaning of solidarity.

Synopsis

In a declining British town, where the mines have fallen silent and hope has run dry, a local pub remains as the last refuge - a gathering place, a lingering trace of community. When refugees from Syria arrive, the already wounded town is tested by fear, poverty, and suspicion.
