No Kaddish in Carmarthen

Gwyn's fifteen and unsure what kind of person he should be or how to act in a changing world. He's spending time visiting his best friend's girlfriend, a closeness that draws suspicion and strains his position in the group. Small confrontations and the threat of physical bullying start to shape his days, while his most important relationship feels like it could slip away. The film follows Gwyn as he copes with peer pressure, shifting loyalties, and the awkward, sometimes funny moments of teenage life, all while trying to protect the one bond he cares about most without revealing major plot turns. He shifts between awkward humor and sudden fear as he tests boundaries in a small-town life.
