The complexities and contradictions of family life are fertile ground for storytelling, even more so for LGBTQ filmmakers. The relationships of parents and children, and the dynamic between siblings all come under the lens in both dramas and a moving personal documentary.
In modern-day rural Ireland, David meditates on his own childhood the day before his son is born. He is so haunted by his father bullying him for being weak and effeminate on the family farm that he now doubts his own abilities as a father. When the baby is born with both male and female sex organs, David is unable to cope with the diagnosis.
Yng nghefn gwlad fodern yr Iwerddon, mae David yn myfyrio ar ei blentyndod ei hun y diwrnod cyn i'w fab gael ei eni. Mae mor ofidus am ei dad yn ei fwlio am fod yn wan ac yn ferchedtaidd ar y fferm deuluol fel ei fod bellach yn amau ei alluoedd ei hun fel tad. Pan fydd y babi'n cael ei eni gydag organau rhyw gwrywaidd a benywaidd, dydy David ddim yn gallu ymdopi â'r diagnosis.
