Up-and-coming star <b>Leisa Gwenllian</b> (<i>On the Sea</i>) is magnetic as hard-partying Effi, a young woman in rural Wales whose life largely revolves around drinking vodka with her mates and eating instant noodles to cure her subsequent hangovers. We’re invited to walk a mile in Effi’s shoes after a night on the town dramatically changes her life, in a dramedy that also offers commentary on the socio-economic issues faced by rural communities everywhere. <b>Marc Evans’</b> big-screen adaptation of <b>Gary Owen’s</b> celebrated one-woman play <i>Iphigenia in Splott</i> opens it out into a spikily funny character study that is also unexpectedly poignant.<div><br></div><div><b>“A state of the nation howl...Effi o Blaenau slowly wins your heart. Leisa Gwenllian shines.” - <i>Screendaily</i><br></b><div><br></div><div> Welsh with English subtitles.</div></div>DramaPT1H30M152026-06-19
