I, Daniel Blake Cannes Palme d’Or Winner Trailer

Based on research and interviews by the screenwriter Paul Laverty, who often collaborates with Ken Loach, the movie tells the story of Daniel Blake (a fictional character), a middle-aged widower in the North of England. Victim of a heart attack, he can’t work or get social benefits. He is completely absorbed by an absurd bureaucratique system, strongly denounced by the British film-maker. The story will take an unexpected direction when Blake meets a young, lonely, woman in the same situation. With Dave Johns, Hayley Squires, Dylan McKiernan. Release on October 21, 2016.
