Boys in the water

End of summer on the Breton coast. Oscar invites his group of friends to spend a week's vacation at his grandparent’s house. He hasn't been back to his childhood home for years - not since he came out as a trans boy. On the beach, the gang meets Malo, a handsome local guy, also trans. The story is about their meeting, which will turn everything upside down.

Diwedd yr haf ar arfordir Llydaw. Mae Oscar yn gwahodd ei ffrindiau i dreulio wythnos o wyliau yn nhŷ ei fam-gu a thad-cu. Nid yw wedi bod yn ôl i gartref ei blentyndod ers blynyddoedd – nid ers iddo ddod allan fel bachgen traws. Ar y traeth, mae’r giang yn cwrdd â Malo, dyn lleol golygus, sy hefyd yn draws. Mae’r stori yn ymwneud â’u cyfarfod, a fydd yn troi popeth wyneb i waered.
