EditSorry We Missed You (2019)

Ricky og Abby Turner slider hårdt for at forsørge familien med to børn, efter finanskrisen ramte og gjorde en ende på deres drøm om at eje et lille hus. Da Ricky får chancen for at blive pakkebud på en såkaldt nul-timers kontrakt, uden løn men med honorar per leveret pakke, øjner han muligheden for at skabe bedre levevilkår for familien. Abby er ansat i hjemmeplejen og forsøger at give de ældre og handicappede borgere en smule værdighed. Men tidsplanen er stram, og som timeansat er der ingen garanti for arbejdstid, sygedage eller mulighed for flex. Familien Turner har altid haft et stærkt sammenhold og værnet om deres stolthed, men da børnene Seb og Liza kommer i problemer, er bristepunktet snart nået. Socialrealismens store mester, Ken Loach, leverer igen et filmisk opråb om arbejderklassens levevilkår i Newcastle. I sin over 40-årige filmkarriere har Loach sat fokus på de udstødte på samfundets bund med film som blandt andre ’My Name is Joe’, ’The Angel’s Share’ og Guldpalmevinderen ’Jeg, Daniel Blake’.

Ricky and Abbie are ordinary English people, living with their two children in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Like most families, they are carrying a financial debt since the 2008s world economic crisis. A new great opportunity occurs but a tough decision has to be made. A decision that is creating tension between the spouses and troubles the kids. Ricky is a delivery driver who would receive fees instead of wage for his work. He is renting a van from his employing company but is obliged to meet specific delivery targets. The new opportunity is to become a franchiser by buying his own van but to do this, Abby, who is a nurse, will have to sell her car. A car she needs desperately to visit her patients. And this is how husband and wife are forced to live in confrontation, struggling to support their family, instead of… simply love each other.
