In the intertidal zone, between land and sea, three people move through time along Bae Ceredigion / Cardigan Bay, through three remarkable sites. With arresting visual imagery, we start 20,000 years ago and arrive at today's climate crisis.

Sarn Gynfelyn is revealed every low tide and looks like a road into the sea. In fact, it is a glacial moraine laid down 20,000 years ago when ice sheets melted; it marks the beginning of the global conditions that have enabled human expansion.

At Borth a 6,000 year-old forest flourished for a few thousand years. Submerged by the sea, it has since been re-exposed by recent storms. Sarn Gynfelyn and Borth鈥檚 forest are cited as supporting the Cantre'r Gwaelod legend of lost fertile lands in Cardigan Bay, but the geology tells a different story.

Moving forwards, we arrive at Fairbourne, a seaside town built on saltmarsh and English industrial wealth. It is now set to become the first UK town to be decommissioned due to sea level rise. It will be demolished and returned to salt marsh, and will have existed for less than 200 years.
