In Celtic legend, midwinter was seen as a battle for the light. It was fought between the Holly King representing the darkness of winter, and the Oak King, signifying the light of spring and summer. Now, the winter solstice has passed, the light is winning and it’s time to look forward. This film celebrates the victory of light and encourages to plan a visit to Ireland’s Ancient East and West Wales in 2022.
