Cyn

14+

Cyn – set in 1995, explores the consequences of colliery closures on mining communities across South Wales. We follow Emyr, the sole drinker on a bleak morning at the village pub. He is the son of a miner, who's life trajectory had been scrambled by the closure of the mine. Into this sombre setting stumbles Simon, an Englishman who is out of petrol and, evidently lost. Over the next hour, accompanied by Max Boyce's music, the tensions between the two simmer as the past is interrogated as we look back and ask the question: Where did the heart go?
