This critically lauded cinematic interpretation of Gary Owen's much loved and widely performed monodrama, ‘Iphigenia in Splott’, is set against the beautiful wide-open landscapes of North Wales.
We follow Effi (Leisa Gwenllian), a young woman who learns firsthand the personal costs of our societal shortcomings. Grappling with her weekly loop of unemployment, clubbing and hangovers, Effi has a chance encounter in a Llandudno nightclub with injured soldier Lee (Tom Rhys Harries), briefly opening a door to something better. For a moment, Effi glimpses a life she never imagined. The reality that follows is far tougher. Gwenllian’s extraordinary performance traces an arc from invulnerability to loss of control, creating a wholly sympathetic and endlessly captivating woman who it is impossible not to root for.
