 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Solomon & Gaenor is a 1999 film from Wales directed by Paul Morrison.Wales, 1911. Solomon Levinsky (Ioan Gruffudd in one of his first starring roles) is a young man who lives with his Orthodox Jewish family in a Welsh village. The Levinskys have a shop in the village and they also go door-to-door selling cloth and fixing windows. Solomon is doing such when he is greeted at the door by Gaenor Rees, a lovely young woman who is the oldest daughter in a coal-mining family. Solomon is instantly smitten by pretty Gaenor, but he can't bring himself to admit that he is Jewish—he has already been pretending to be a gentile while in the village. So he introduces himself to her as "Sam Livingstone".The two fall in love, and Gaenor even presents "Sam" to her family. But he continues to dodge whenever she asks to meet his family. Soon matters come to a head.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Two different versions of this movie were filmed, one that was in Welsh and Yiddish, and another that replaced most of the Welsh dialogue with English. Steffan Rhodri plays Gaenor's would-be beau Noah.

 Arcadia: The rolling green hills of Wales, dotted with sheep. Subverted in that the rural beauty of Wales also includes labor unrest and anti-Semitic riots.

 Downer Ending: Solomon dies. Gaenor has to give up her baby, and will probably live the rest of her life alone, now that she's regarded as a fallen woman by the town.

 Birth/Death Juxtaposition: Solomon dies while huddled in bed with Gaenor. Gaenor wails with grief...and then gasps with the pain of contractions as she immediately goes into labor.

 Establishing Character Moment: Solomon chucks a wadded-up paper at his uncle for distracting him with prayers while Solomon is pretending to study. Soon after, he flatly denies it when a villager asks him if he's a Jew.
