Swing for the Fences
Synopsis
Kelly heads to the gym, where she tries to blow off some steam, but runs into Keisha - a fighter who Kelly knows is much better than her and who seems to have her life much more together. Jealous and angry, she picks a fight, looking for any excuse to blow up at Keisha. When Kelly accuses Keisha of stealing her bag, a fight is set up in the ring, marshalled by trainer Warren, who lays down the rules.
Kelly learns a lesson in the ring, allowing her to reflect on herself and her situation at home.

Eryri, North Wales, 1780. Maggie Jenkins has spent her life caring for her dying father in isolation. When he finally dies, she sees a chance to escape the life of duty that has defined her. But then her brother Endaf, long presumed dead, returns through the snow with a wounded Algerian soldier in tow. Welcomed home as a hero, Endaf soon reveals himself to be cold, controlling and dangerous. When the village takes Maggie’s home and inheritance from her and gives them to Endaf, she is pushed to the brink. Set against the brutal winter landscape of 18th-century North Wales, LLUEST is an elemental revenge drama about a woman forced to fight for her freedom — and what happens when she finally refuses to be silenced.
