Opera Film
Synopsis
A guilt-ridden writer, haunted by the past, embarks on a melancholic train journey home. Memories of a tumultuous adolescence resurface, forcing him to confront a dark secret that led to his mother's confinement in an asylum. Through fragmented recollections and lyrical confrontations, he navigates a path towards redemption and artistic awakening.
Drawing inspiration from Wales' literary cornerstone, "Un Nos Ola Leuad," this introspective drama is a fever dream woven from personal trauma and artistic expression. The hauntingly beautiful score, composed by Gareth Glyn and performed by the Welsh National Opera orchestra, further amplifies the emotional intensity of the narrative.
This film is a Welsh-language "operatic film", a genre-bending exploration of grief, memory, and the power of artistic creation.
