A guilt-ridden writer rides a night train home, where fragmented memories force him to confront the past that led to his mother’s institutionalisation — and his own artistic awakening.

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. A Welsh-language “operatic film”, this genre-bending work explores grief, memory and the power of artistic creation, drawing inspiration from Wales’ literary cornerstone Un Nos Ola Leuad, with a score by Gareth Glyn performed by the Welsh National Opera orchestra.
