Part of Too Much: Melodrama on Film
A Book to Film Club screening
Huw Morgan, the academically inclined youngest son in a proud family of Welsh coal miners, witnesses the tumultuous events of his young life during a period of rapid social change.
At the dawn of the 20th century, a miners' strike divides the Morgans: the sons demand improvements, and the father doesn't want to rock the boat.
Meanwhile, Huw's eldest sister, Angharad, pines for the new village preacher, Mr. Gruffydd.
'Captures an idyll of youth that has been lost to the corrosive practices of modern business' - Richard Brody, The New Yorker
