Gwen
A young girl shoulders the burden of holding her dysfunctional family together in writer-director William McGregor's bleak drama set in 19th-century Snowdonia. Elen (Maxine Peake) works the land to keep a roof over the head of her two daughters, Gwen (Eleanor Worthington-Cox) and Mari (Jodie Innes). Abandoned by her husband who has gone off to war, Elen struggles to make ends meet while she tries to conceal her worsening epilepsy from the owners of the local quarry, who intend the seize the family's land. Teenager Gwen receives free medicine from a kind-hearted local doctor, Wren (Kobna Holdbrook-Smith), but the outlook is grim. As the family's predicament worsens, friends and neighbours seemingly turn against Gwen and her embattled loved ones.
