From the team that brought you I, Daniel Blake, comes Sorry We Missed You, directed by legendary British filmmaker Ken Loach and already thought of as “one of his best films” (Screen Daily).

Encompassed within the Official Selection - Out of Competition in LEFFEST’19, Sorry We Missed You will be screened on the festival’s opening day, November 15th, at 9h30PM, in a session opening the International Symposium: Resistances through the debate Society and Revolution: How to Fight About Social Matters? attended by Juan Branco, Maxime NicolleMehdi Belhaj Kacem and Salah Dabouz

Screened in Competition at the Cannes Film Festival in 2019 and written by Paul Laverty, the film reflects on our modern world’s excesses and unsteady conditions through a family’s daily struggle with debt acquired due to the 2008 financial crisis.   

“[The story] was not only related to the degree of exploitation of the workers, but also to its consequences on their family life and the way it all echoes in their personal relationships. The middle class speaks of work-life balance when the working class doesn’t have a choice out of necessity.” - Ken Loach

Screened in the following session:
Friday, November 15th, at 9h30PM, in Espaço Nimas followed by debate Society and Revolution: How to Fight About Social Matters? with Juan Branco, Maxime Nicolle, Mehdi Belhaj Kacem and Salah Dabouz.
