Diomysus: More Than Monogamy

An experimental film where a group of mice (voiced by members of the UK polyamorous community whose identities are masked using puppetry) discuss their experiences of polyamory. Diomysus asks the question - are we (the audience) more open to taboo ideas if unconscious bias is eliminated?

Ffilm arbrofol lle mae grŵp o lygod (a leisiwyd gan aelodau cymuned amlgarwriaethol y DU y mae eu hunaniaethau’n cael eu cuddio gan ddefnyddio pypedwaith) yn trafod eu profiadau o amlgarwriaeth. Mae Diomysus yn gofyn y cwestiwn – ydyn ni (y gynulleidfa) yn fwy agored i syniadau tabŵ os caiff rhagfarn anymwybodol ei ddileu?
