Ondt /St NL/FR NL / In a former mining town stands The Old Oak, the last pub of the now dilapidated place in Northern England. The local population can barely keep their heads above water themselves and sees their place of residence emptying out further and further. Pub landlord TJ silently listens to his grumbling, regular customers. When the pub is also threatened with closure, the housing of Syrian refugees in the town causes extra unrest. But an unlikely friendship cautiously brings the different worlds together, with The Old Oak as the shared focal point. In THE OLD OAK, hope gleams in the realization that we have to do it together after all. After the film, there is an opportunity for discussion.
