When famous author, Elen Wdig commits suicide, her twin daughters, Nan and Ana, are left feeling lost. Elen's final words suggest that she in fact may have been murdered by her biographer, Eben. The twins go to the National Library of Wales, where they work as archivists, to avenge their mother's death, but night porter Dan is caught in the crossfire.[3]
Production[edit]
The film was produced by Ffilm Ffolyn[4] and released by Soda Pictures. [5] Filming took place in Aberystwyth and Cardigan. [6]
Director, Euros Lyn, said of filming, "It is so important that when you locate a story somewhere that you get a feel for the place. You want to know why the place is different to anywhere else in the world, so we tried to see a side of Aberystwyth that we hadn't seen before."[7]
