Angels of Cairo

Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description

Mae Robert Clifford yn Cairo i gyflwyno ei ffilm newydd mewn cystadleuaeth. Cymerodd saith mlynedd i greu'r ffilm ac NID ffilm am ei fam ydyw, yn bendant. Ond nid yw'r foment dan y llifoleuadau yn union fel y dychmygai ac mae sïon y gallai'r beirniaid gael eu dylanwadu. Does neb yn medru cael gafael ar gopi o'i ffilm ac mae ei gariad hyd yn oed yn credu bod y ffilm yn sôn am ei fam.

Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description

Robert Clifford is in Cairo to present his latest film for a festival prize. It has taken seven gruelling years of his life to make and is definitely NOT a film about his mother. But his moment in the spotlight is not quite as he scripted. There are rumours the jury could be influenced. Nobody can lay their hands on a copy of the film, and even his girlfriend thinks it's about his mother.

Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

Robert Clifford is in Cairo to present his latest film for a festival prize. It has taken seven gruelling years of his life to make and is definitely NOT a film about his mother. But his moment in the spotlight is not quite as he scripted. There are rumours the jury could be influenced. Nobody can lay their hands on a copy of the film. And even his girlfriend thinks it’s about his mother. Cliff’s producer has not turned up but sent his nephew Lewis Proudfoot instead. Lewis has a script of his own to sell and is determined that everyone should hear about it. Then a meeting is arranged with a group of the festival organiser’s friends, who may or may not be revolutionaries... Angels of Cairo is a fast-moving, acerbic comedy told over a single day but capturing a lifetime of angst and self-doubt. ‘A sharp, pacy novel that has all the best hallmarks of the literary thriller...’- Patrick McGuiness on The Golden Orphans
