1. 1. Whale Fall

   

   In 1938, on a remote Welsh island, a dead whale washes ashore, stirring feelings of foreboding and curiosity in Manod, a young woman who has lived there her entire life. As she navigates her responsibilities to her family, particularly her sister, Manod yearns to explore life beyond the island's rugged beauty. The arrival of two English ethnographers offers her a glimpse into the world beyond and a potential escape. As she becomes drawn to them, Manod experiences a personal awakening, while grappling with the impact their presence has on her community. "Whale Fall" explores themes of self-discovery, cultural identity, and the tension between personal desires and communal ties.
