This mesmerising tale of a peasant outcast turned prophet is told in a visionary style that creates a sense of wonder as it immerses you in the lush forests of Liborio’s staggeringly beautiful unspoilt Eden. In search of freedom, enigmatic ‘Father Liborio’ moves to the mountains to create an independent community, a symbol of hope and resistance to the colonial forces around them. There Liborio does his best to avoid an inevitable confrontation with invading US marines.

Adroddir y stori syfrdanol hon am alltud gwerinol, sydd bellach wedi troi’n broffwyd, mewn arddull weledigaethol gan greu synnwyr o ryfeddod wrth iddi eich trochi yng nghoedwigoedd iraidd dilychwin a hardd Eden yn Liborio. Wrth chwilio am ryddid, mae’r ‘Father Liborio’ enigmatig yn symud i’r mynyddoedd i ffurfio cymuned annibynnol, symbol o obaith a gwrthwynebiad i’r lluoedd trefedigaethol o’u cwmpas. Yno, mae Liborio yn gwneud ei orau i osgoi gwrthdaro anochel â môr-filwyr y UD sy’n heidio i’r wlad.
