Cineastul britanic Mike Leigh, marele premiu la Festivalul de Film de la San Sebastian

The Golden Shell at the San Sebastian Film Festival was awarded to Mike Leigh's film 'Tender Loving Care', likely his last due to illness. Leigh expressed regret for not attending the event via a video message. The film, featuring two social workers, highlights compassion in a precarious society. It also won best screenplay, and Kate O'Flynn received the Silver Shell for best performance. The festival, presided over by Ira Sachs, showcased 263 films, with the Donostia award given to Naomi Watts and Werner Herzog for their careers.
