Allan o'r senario gref hon daw ffilm sy'n cael ei disgrifio fel "un o'r ffilmiau nodwedd gorau a gynhyrchwyd yn y sinema Brydeinig yn ystod y degawd diwethaf".

A film ".. directed by Endaf Emlyn (b. Pwllheli, 1944), whose emotional identification with, and knowledge of, the Snowdonia of Caradog Prichard's novel enabled him to realize (and release) the many layers of emotion in a deeply personal work. ... The film deals with the last days of a man riven with guilt all his adult life after a fatal aberration in youth. He feels guilty not only for the violence which led to a girl's death, but his failure to prevent his unhinged mother from entering a mental institution. He returns to his home village to complete the cycle by seeking absolution ... and the use of woods, hills and barren landscapes in sharp juxtaposition with claustrophobic looming interiors which hem in the protagonist, can scarcely be faulted. The film gains immeasurably from fine editing and the beautifully modulated performance of Dyfan Roberts ...", [Dave Berry, 'Wales and Cinema - the first hundred years', UWP, 1994]
