Rounders

In a small Welsh village, Gwyn and his mate Iwan are just two kids trading football stickers and chasing gossip. But when word spreads that someone may have fallen, or been pushed, off the local bridge, curiosity turns into a rush of rumour and tension. As the village spirals into speculation, Gwyn is caught up in a whirlwind of misunderstandings, with even his own family questioning what's real. With humour, local colour, and a twist of suspense, Rounders explores the innocence of youth and the power of gossip, where a simple game of swaps can turn into something far more compelling.
