Still grieving the disappearance of her scientist father, amateur teenaged astronomer Maz (Stocks) is convinced she has spotted something suspicious hovering above her sleepy Welsh hometown. Recruiting her best mate Little Elis (Moya), UFO-obsessed conspiracy theorist Bryn (Barnard) and local psychic Shifty Gruff (Sheen), Maz and her gang of misfits set out to uncover the truth, one that is far more complex than they might have expected. Breathlessly paced, wittily evoking its early 2000s setting via superb music choices, costumes and production design, this charming Welsh debut from director Simon Ryninks is poignant, funny and entirely unpredictable.
