84-year-old cellist Ceri has lost his husband to cancer and his ability to play to a debilitating stroke. His dull life is spent in solitude, save for the interruptions of agency carers and the solace of his iPad. Seizing the opportunity that a night-time staff shortage brings; he uses Grindr to invite 20-year-old rent-boy Iestyn to visit.

Following surgery, Ioan and his father adapt to their new relationship as father and son, that is until the dog mistakes a nipple for a chew toy.

A short documentary about queer intimacy during the pandemic.

Cysuro is a short film written and directed by Peter Darney, which was shortlisted for 'Best Welsh Short' at the Wales International Film Festival.
