After surviving a heart attack, Daniel Blake, a 59-year-old carpenter, finds himself unable to work and in need of state support. As he struggles to secure Employment and Support Allowance, he faces a rigid welfare system that seems built to keep him at a distance. Along the way, he connects with a single mother caught in a similar fight for help and dignity.
