Effi o Blaenau

Effi is 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 briefly opens a door to something better. For a moment, Effi glimpses a life she never imagined. The reality that follows is far tougher.

'The film proves that the most specific landscapes can articulate far-reaching truths, and is another reminder that it’s well past time for the ‘British’ cinematic canon to include more languages than English' - Becca Voelcker, Sight & Sound
