Synopsis

Falling in love can feel like a whirlwind adventure, full of discovery. But for the greatest adventures, you must overcome your greatest fears. Heledd and Celyn explore a sea-side town together, delighting in each other’s company. As they grow closer, the world around them seems to become a more colourful and magical place, and they imagine sailing away on a leaf boat, just the two of them. But along with the giddy excitement comes the fear of things going wrong and the worry about feelings getting hurt. With rich visual metaphors and warm playfulness, this Welsh-language animation celebrates LGBTQ+ love and relationships and frames life as a brilliant journey to be embraced.

Gall cwympo mewn cariad fod yn un antur gyffrous, ond fel mewn unrhyw antur, rhaid goresgyrn a wynebu sawl her. Mae Hedydd a Celyn yn ymweld â phentre lan môr ac yn dod i adnabod ei gilydd yn well. Wrth i’w perthynas esblygu mae eu byd yn newid. Dyma nhw’n dechre dychmygu eu bod yn hwylio ar gwch deilen – dim ond nhw, neb arall. Ond wrth fentro ar eu taith hydolus dyma nhw’n wynebu sawl sialens gyda rhai pethau’n mynd o’i le ac yn arwain sy’n arwain atyn nhw’n cwestiynu eu teimladau. Ffilm chwaraeus ac aniemdddiad llawn cymeriad sy’n dathlu cariad a pherthynas LHDTC+ ac sy’n annog inni gyd gofleidio phob agwedd o fywyd.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."
