 | Based on the true story of ambitious Welsh poet Ellis Evans, who wrote under the pen name Hedd Wyn (which translates as "white peace"), and desired to win the chair at the Welsh National Eisteddfod. Tragically, Evans was torn from his home in rural North Wales and conscripted into the trenches of World War I, being killed just days before his submission to the competition won the coveted prize.
Note that the movie was shot mostly in Welsh with some scenes in English, though a fully subtitled version is available through Amazon.
