Doll mender Ifans is peacefully at work in his wood workshop in rural Wales. Until suddenly his entire life is ripped apart by the unannounced intrusion of two strangers, a Girl and a Lad. As they torment him with their own secret agenda and mind games, Ifans loses his grip on his reality, leaving him adrift in a world which is changed too quickly. As the two strangers play one final deadly game, and he is left deserted by everyone, Ifans is left questioning the purpose of his entire existence…
This Welsh-language classic from 1966 is a fascinating study of our obsession with modernisation, the role of women in society and racial prejudice, while also asking searching questions about our conscience and existence itself.
Saer Doliau is performed in Welsh with English subtitles.
