Gwen - 2018 - 6/10
“Steal a sheep and they’ll take your hand. Steal a mountain and they’ll make you a lord.”
Gwen, young sister Mari, and their mum struggle to keep their Welsh farm.
Mid 19th century, and Dad is away at war, understand? Things are difficult.
Dialogue is minimal in this, as is human interaction. The story is seen from Gwen’s eye,
The atmosphere, the natural world, crushes down. By and by, you realize the family is ostracized.
Standing in the back, not even lurking in the shadows, is a man of wealth and power.
An old story, one that extends into prehistory, of small people trying to hold onto what little they own.
