The Welsh language film that everyone is talking about - coming to The Met this month!

Effi O Blaenau
Friday 17th July
https://awenboxoffice.com/whats-on/met-cinema-effi-o-blaenau/

Based on Gary Owen’s much lauded and widely performed monodrama, Iphigenia in Splott, ‘Effi o Blaenau’ is director Marc Evans’ cinematic interpretation set against the wide open landscapes of North Wales. The film follows Effi, a young woman desperate to escape a town where the pubs are closed, the jobs have vanished and her grandmother works night shifts in the local chip shop just to get by. A chance encounter in a Llandudno nightclub with injured soldier Lee, played by Tom Rhys Harries, briefly opens a door to something better. For a moment, Effi glimpses a life she never imagined. The reality that follows is far tougher.
