Synopsis

1993, Carmarthen, West Wales: Liz Evans is a hairdresser and a mother of three who runs the local youth opera out of the community’s Lyric Theatre. The town’s mayor, Tom, who had an unrequited crush on Liz during their school days, plans to demolish the theatre and turn it into a shopping centre. Liz decides to fight back and, with the help of her old drama teacher, a fellow hairdresser, and her family, she mounts a campaign to save the cinema. Their ambitious idea is to somehow contact world-famous director Steven Spielberg and request his permission to screen a premiere of the not-yet-released ‘Jurassic Park’ in order to drum up media interest for their campaign. A hugely likeable and entertaining ode to the magic of the cinema and why it remains an important part of our communities.

Ry'n ni'n mynd nol i 1993, i Sir Gar, mae Liz Evans yn gweithio mewn siop trin gwallt, yn fam i dri ac yn cynnal clwb ieuenctid i bobl ifanc yn Theatr y Lyric, sy'n ganol y dre. Ond yn anffodus i Liz, mae Tom - a fu'n ysgol gyda Liz a sy nawr yn Faer ar y dre - yn gobeithio dinistrio'r theatr i greu canolfan siopa newydd. O ganlyniad, mae Liz yn penderfynu ymchyrchu'n erbyn hyn - a gyda help ei chymuned, mae'n nhw'n brwydro i achub y theatr a sinema leol drwy gynnal digwyddiadau a thynnu sylw'r wasg. Yn wir, un syniad yw denu sylw'r cyfarwyddwr fyd-enwog Steven Speilberg i gynnal dangosiad arbennig o'i ffilm Jurassic Park yno... 

Ffilm llawn adloniant gyda themau o ymgyrchu dros yr hyn ry'ch chi'n ei gredu, pwysigrwydd y celfyddydau, a rol cymuned a chynefin ar ein hunaniaeth a'n ymdemilad o berthyn.
