Bob Peck (Edge of Darkness, Jurassic Park) and Gemma Jones (Bridget Jones' Diary, Duchess of Duke Street) play husband and wife Amos and Mary Jones, bound to each other despite resentment and social inequalities. Into this tense environ-ment, identical twins Lewis and Benjamin — played by real-life brothers Mike and Robert Gwilym — are born.

The brothers grow, live and die together, sharing the same bed through 80 years of war, romance and loss.

Featuring stunning photography of the Welsh-English border, On The Black Hill was shot in only seven weeks on a tight budget. Locals and livestock were recruited to the film, most of the props were borrowed, and even the local Women's Institute was enlisted to create knitting patterns of the correct period, all of which firmly locates the film in its region, and gives it a strong sense of reality.
