Y Llyfrgell / The Library Suicides

When famous author Elena Wdig commits suicide, her twin daughters, librarians Nan and Ana, are lost without her. As Elena’s final words suggest that her biographer, Eben murdered her, the twins set off on a murderous quest to avenge their mother’s death at the National Library of Wales, but are soon disrupted by night porter Dan, who is unwillingly caught up in the saga. Directed by the multi-BAFTA-award winning Euros Lyn, inspired by Fflur Dafydd’s bestselling novel, and starring Catrin Stewart in her first Welsh-language role, this offbeat thriller, set in one of the most iconic building in Wales, explores the secrets and lies at the heart of storytelling, and asks who, if anyone, has the right to tell the story.
