Dominic Coleman plays Jasper, a film-maker who gets a lot more than he imagined after being assigned to help a group of teenage wheelchair-users make a movie. Jasper attempts to convince the teens to make a “fiction film about real life”, but when one of the students suggests they make a documentary instead, Jasper merely blanks their indifference and ploughs ahead with a plan to take them up a hill to ‘symbolise their daily struggle’ – blissfully unaware of the comic complications that await.
Dominic Coleman sy’n chwarae Jasper, gwneuthurwr ffilmiau sy’n cael llawer mwy na’r hyn y dychmygodd ar ôl cael y gwaith o wneud ffilm gyda chriw o blant yn eu harddegau mewn cadeiriau-olwyn. Mae Jasper yn ceisio darbwyllo’r bobl ifainc i wneud “ffilm ffug wyddonol am fywyd go iawn”, ond pan mae un o’r myfyrwyr yn awgrymu gwneud ffilm ddogfen yn hytrach, mae Jasper yn anwybyddu eu difaterwch ac yn palu ‘mlan gyda chynllun i fynd â nhw i fyny’r bryn, i ‘symboleiddio eu brwydr ddyddiol’ – yn hollol anymwybodol o’r cymhlethdodau digrif o’i flaen.
