Storyline

Daniel Blake, 59, has worked as a joiner most of his life in Newcastle. Now, after a heart attack and nearly falling from a scaffold, he needs help from the State for the first time in his life. He crosses paths with a single mother Katie and her two young children, Daisy and Dylan. Katie’s only chance to escape a one-roomed homeless hostel in London has been to accept a flat in a city she doesn’t know some 300 miles away. Daniel and Katie find themselves in no-man’s land caught on the barbed wire of welfare bureaucracy in modern day Britain.

Ken Loach, (born June 17, 1936) British film director whose works are considered landmarks of social realism. His first feature film, „Poor Cow“ (1967), focuses on the life of a working-class woman whose husband is in jail. It was followed by the poignant „Kes“ (1970). He gained further attention with „Hidden Agenda“ (1990), a political thriller set in Northern Ireland, which shared the jury prize at the Cannes film festival. Loach’s films include „Bread and Roses“ (2000), starring Adrien Brody, which tells a story of janitors in Los Angeles in pursuit of better working conditions, and „The Wind That Shakes the Barley“ (2006), an affecting portrait of Irish Republicans in 1920 during their fight against British rule. The latter won the Cannes film festival’s top prize, the Palme d’Or.
