Nominated by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts for Best Foreign Language Film, Solomon and Gaenor is an interfaith Romeo and Juliet love story starring Welsh heartthrob Ioan Gruffudd (Titanic, Wilde). Amidst the industrial unrest of a Welsh coal mining town, Solomon, an Orthodox Jew and door-to-door salesman falls in love with the beautiful Gaenor, but hides his religion from her since she comes from a family of strict Christian chapel-goers. The two soon become lovers but their affair has serious consequences for both of them.
