Mike Leigh film Tender Loving Care wins awards at San Sebastián

British filmmaker Mike Leigh has released the trailer for his latest drama, Tender Loving Care. The film, which may be the 83-year-old director's final work due to his health, follows two social workers navigating professional challenges and personal struggles in contemporary England.

The story centers on Amy, a child protection worker, and her friend Rosie, a social services officer. As they navigate their complicated lives and living arrangements, the narrative also explores the emotional realities of aging and illness through Amy's parents.

Tender Loving Care has completed a major festival circuit, including premieres at Telluride and Toronto. At the San Sebastián International Film Festival, the film won the Golden Shell for Best Film, the Jury Prize for Best Screenplay, and the Silver Shell for Best Leading Performance for Kate O’Flynn.
