British master Ken Loach delivers the final chapter of his 'North East England Trilogy', following 'I, Daniel Blake' and 'Sorry We Missed You'. Set in a former mining town in Northern England, 'The Old Oak' is the last remaining pub cherished by locals. About 30 years after the town's vibrant heyday, it now faces harsh times, but owner TJ Ballantine struggles to keep it going through trial and error. However, when the town begins accepting Syrian refugees, the pub—once a place of solace—turns into a battleground for belonging. Wrestling with the pub's uncertain future, TJ meets Yara, a Syrian woman with a camera, and unexpectedly forms a friendship. Scripted by Paul Laverty, Loach's longtime collaborator, the film is portrayed with warmth and realism. Dave Turner, who appeared in 'I, Daniel Blake' and 'Sorry We Miss You', plays pub owner TJ. Winner of the Audience Award at the 2023 Locarno Film Festival, and screened in competition at the 76th Cannes Film Festival.
