Helô’r hen ffrind. Gwellwch yr ymdeimlad hwnnw o Hiraeth am/Adre ac aduno â ni ar gyfer rhaglen llawn nostalgia a hiraeth*. Bydd y 10 ffilm fer hyn yn eich tywys drwy’r gorffennol, y presennol a’r dyfodol i ystyried beth mae adre yn ei olygu i ni, beth y byddem yn ei wneud i’w warchod, a’r hyn y gallai ein cartref ei hun fod yn hiraethu amdano. Rydym yn eich gwahodd i gwtsho gydag atgofion annwyl o blentyndod a chofio wynebau a lleoedd sydd wedi newid yn aruthrol dros y blynyddoedd. Gwnewch eich hun yn gartrefol.
*Hiraeth (enw): Hiraeth dwfn, hiraeth dwys neu hiraeth am le sydd wedi hen fynd, neu hyd yn oed hiraeth anatebol am le nad ydych erioed wedi ymweld ag ef.
Beirut, 1982. As Nicolas prepares to flee his hometown, torn apart by an endless civil war, he crosses the path of Naji, a reckless teenager determined to go to the Swimming Pool. Trying to protect the young man, Nicolas finds himself pulled into a surreal race against war, all for the mere freedom of going swimming.
