Preparing for the school show, a sibling dispute, upheaving familial norms, and a close-knit cricket team. This collection of films looks at how cultural expectations shape communities and the individuals within them.

Paratoi ar gyfer sioe'r ysgol, anghydfod rhwng brodyr a chwiorydd, normau teuluol sy'n chwyldroi, a thîm criced agos. Mae'r casgliad hwn o ffilmiau yn edrych ar sut mae disgwyliadau diwylliannol yn siapio cymunedau a'r unigolion ynddynt.

Queen Lizzy is a raw and honest insight into the life of Traveller, Elizabeth Connors, and her relationship with her family who cannot come to terms with her sexuality.
