*Film's Synopsis

Near retirement age, Daniel Blake suffers a heart attack and is advised by his cardiologist not to return to work.  As a widower with no relatives, Daniel attempts to apply for financial aid from the government but has been considered ineligible, for he is deemed fit to work after an assessment conducted by the Labour Department.  Daniel crosses paths with Katie, a single mother of two young children, who has been evicted by her landlord.  Katie later has her benefits sanctioned for missing a job centre appointment.  In the face of the ridiculous and bureaucratic welfare system, all Daniel and Katie can do is to offer timely help to each other.

This film reveals how the grassroots are protected under such a "comprehensive" social welfare system.  In 2016, it was awarded the La Palme d'or (Golden Palm) - the ultimate recognition given at Cannes.
