The Old Oak | 2023

Synopsis

"The Old Oak" stands as the sole surviving pub in a once-thriving mining village in northern England, serving as a refuge for a community grappling with hardship. As resentment and hopelessness brew among the residents, the arrival of Syrian refugees further divides the already strained village. However, an unexpected friendship between the pub's proprietor, TJ, and a young Syrian woman named Yara offers a glimmer of hope, exploring themes of loss, fear, and the challenging pursuit of hope.
