On an empty road in the middle of the night, Shula returns home from a fancy dress party and stumbles upon the dead body of her Uncle Fred. As funeral proceedings begin around them, she and her cousins bring to light the buried secrets of their middle-class Zambian family.
With touches of humour and surrealism, ‘On Becoming a Guinea Fowl’ is a powerful and atmospheric tale of tradition, strength, and complicity in the face of silence.

Ar ffordd wag yng nghanol y nos, mae Shula yn dychwelyd adref o barti gwisg ffansi ac yn baglu ar gorff marw ei ewythr Fred. Wrth i achosion angladd ddechrau o'u cwmpas, mae hi a'i chefndryd yn dod â chyfrinachau claddedig eu teulu Zambian dosbarth canol i'r amlwg.
Gyda chyffyrddiadau o hiwmor a swrealaeth, mae 'On Becoming a Guinea Fowl' yn stori bwerus ac atmosfferig am draddodiad, cryfder a chydymffurfedd yn wyneb distawrwydd.
