I, Daniel Blake
Ja, Daniel Blake · dir. Ken Loach
UK, France, Belgium 2016, 100’
22 October, 21:00 · Od Nowa – new hall
It is a thoroughly touching and humorous story about an adult man, who decides to help a lonely mother with two children get back on their feet. However, when trying to get a state pension for himself, he gets lost in the merciless bureaucratic machine just as the one we know from the novel by Franz Kafka. Despite the indifference demonstrated by officials and each new challenge they have to face in their everyday lives, Daniel and Katie manage to find the true joy in life and genuine friendship again.
