SHORTS 3:
HEART
One of the most important organs in the body, the HEART keeps our blood pumping and oxygen levels in check. For centuries it’s also been linked to one of the strongest and most complex human emotions: love.
Love is all around us, and comes in many forms: from romance to friendship, family bonds to the love we feel for our pets. This touching program showcases stories about learning how to love ourselves, the excitement of a summer adventure with your best mates, to the exhilaration of a first kiss.
Open up your HEART and fall in love with these beautiful short films.
Y galon yw canolbwynt y corff, ac am ganrifoedd rydym wedi ei chysylltu ag emosiwn cryfaf a mwyaf cymhleth dyn - cariad. Mae cariad ym mhobman ac yn ymddangos ar sawl ffurf - rhamant a chyfeillgarwch, cyswllt teuluol neu berthynas ag anifail anwes. Bydd y rhaglen dwymgalon hon yn ein dangos ni yn dysgu caru ein hunain, cyffro antur haf ffrindiau gorau, a gwefr y gusan gyntaf. ‘Paid â bod ofn, agor dy galon.’
