Mike Leigh's highly anticipated film "Tender Loving Care" secured its place as the frontrunner for the prestigious Concha de Oro at the 74th edition of the San Sebastián film festival. The audience's enthusiasm for the aging auteur's final work, which may indeed be his swan song due to illness, shone through during the prestigious jury panel presided over by American filmmaker Ira Sachs.
