A family bracing for loss, excluded at a wake, seeking company in an old friend, and a complicated history resurfacing. This collection of films deals with disconnect in familial relationships.

Teulu yn paratoi am golled, wedi'u hallgáu mewn gwylnos, yn chwilio am gwmni mewn hen ffrind, a hanes cymhleth yn ailymddangos. Mae'r casgliad hwn o ffilmiau yn ymdrin â datgysylltiad mewn perthnasoedd teuluol.

When Venus, a Black violinist, joins her wife at her family's remote estate, unsettling visions blur past and present. As hidden histories surface, she discovers an unexpected connection to the property that threatens her marriage and sense of self.

Pan fydd Venus, feiolinydd Du, yn ymuno â'i gwraig yn ystâd anghysbell ei theulu, mae gweledigaethau aflonydd yn pylu'r gorffennol a'r presennol. Wrth i hanesion cudd ddod i'r wyneb, mae hi'n darganfod cysylltiad annisgwyl â'r eiddo sy'n bygwth ei phriodas a'i synnwyr o hunan.

Between Breath & Silence

When his terminally ill father returns home, a young gay man must confront years of silence, family tensions and the possibility that time is running out.

Them That's Not

Andrea “Drea” Stoney, a down-on-her-luck poet, finds herself at her grandmother’s repass, along with her seditty larger-than-life family. But Drea is sticking out like a sore thumb; she’s introspective, Queer, artistic and proudly Deaf, albeit surrounded by her distant family members who don’t care to know ASL. So Drea resorts to finding solace in hidden, lonely moments that she can steal in the pockets of her grandmother’s generational brownstone. Her visit is complicated by the arrival of her father, Samuel, who’s 20 years into a 25-year prison sentence, released for the day on a furlough to say goodbye to his late mother. The two strangers, bound by blood & their love for the deceased, are forced to reconcile with each other before his inevitable return to prison.

Black Shawl

Lesya is living in a refugee camp, where she reconnects with her old friend Maria, who, like Lesya, is haunted by the loss of a loved one. As their bond deepens, the women find solace in each other’s shared grief.
