Josef K and the Cost of Living

Pavilion
Synopsis:
It’s Friday night in a small town in Wales and everyone's out for the FINAL disco at the Pavilion, a run-down Victorian hall, that like the local school and the library, is about to be shut down. Over the course of one evening we meet the larger than life characters that make up the community, and observe a rich tapestry of comic and tragic stories as we witness a town crumbling under the politics of austerity.
