Among the family beehives during a long summer in the Basque countryside, an eight-year-old child begins to question their gender identity, just as her mother (a sculptor who works with beeswax) struggles with her creative identity.  Sofía Otero rightly won the Silver Bear at Berlinale for her ‘effortlessly naturalistic’ performance, and the Guardian praised the director’s ‘beguiling delicacy and emotional acuity’;  this is a lovely, heartfelt and understated drama.

Ymhlith cychod gwenyn y teulu yn ystod haf hir yng nghefn gwlad y Basg, mae plentyn wyth oed yn dechrau cwestiynu eu hunaniaeth o ran rhywedd, yn union fel y mae ei mam (cerflunydd sy’n gweithio gyda chŵyr gwenyn) yn brwydro â’i hunaniaeth greadigol.  Enillodd Sofía Otero yr Arth Arian yn Berlinale yn gwbl briodol am ei pherfformiad ‘diymdrech o naturiolaidd’, a chanmolodd y Guardian ‘danteithfwyd hudolus a chraffter emosiynol’ y cyfarwyddwr;  mae hon yn ddrama hyfryd, dwymgalon a chynnil.

During World War II, nine-year-old George is evacuated from London to the safety of the countryside by his mother, Rita, in order to escape the bombings. Defiant and determined to return to his family, George sets out on a perilous journey back home, while a distraught Rita desperately searches for him.

Steve McQueen’s wartime drama is a powerful and emotional portrayal of war through the eyes of a child.

Yn ystod yr Ail Ryfel Byd, mae George, sy'n naw oed, yn cael ei symud o Lundain i ddiogelwch cefn gwlad gan ei fam, Rita, er mwyn dianc rhag y bomiau. Yn herfeiddiol ac yn benderfynol o ddychwelyd at ei deulu, mae George yn cychwyn ar daith beryglus yn ôl adref, tra bod Rita yn chwilio’n daer amdano.

Mae drama amser rhyfel Steve McQueen yn bortread pwerus ac emosiynol o ryfel trwy lygaid plentyn.
