In a northern English mining community, the pub is the only meeting place for residents of the district, who are mostly unemployed and suffer from high rents. When the innkeeper opens the back room for Syrian refugees, the regular guests are angry — until prejudices are reduced through personal encounters.
A moving, critical and entertaining drama that pleads for tolerance and solidarity. In a semi-documentary, unagitated style, the film traces the living conditions of the characters and portrays the resentment of the locals as well as the fear of refugees.
Worth seeing – from 14 yrs.

A diverse program of current Austrian and international auteur films is provided, among others, by Cultural Initiative 08/16 Gmunden. For the unique cinema experience, the traditional Wanderkino Steininger responsible from Linz.
