The Old Oak is a special place. Not only is it the last pub standing, it is the only remaining public space where people can meet in a once thriving mining community that has now fallen on hard times after 30 years of decline. Landlord TJ Ballantyne (Dave Turner) hangs on to The Old Oak by his fingertips, and his hold is endangered even more when the pub becomes contested territory after the arrival of Syrian refugees who are placed in the village. An unlikely friendship develops when TJ encounters a young Syrian with a camera, Yara (Ebla Mari). Can they find a way for the two communities to understand each other? So unfolds a deeply moving drama about loss, fear and the difficulty of finding hope.

On the Piazza Grande in Locarno, 87-year-old Ken Loach received a moving standing ovation for his latest film. He is one of the most committed filmmakers in the world and manages to develop his narratives out of everyday life in a way that is as moving as it is authentic.
