Featuring local actors, non-actors (but incredibly talented folk artists) and rural Malta as a backdrop, this is one you’ll want to see on the big screens – and to show to anyone who’d like to better understand what’s at the core of the island’s beating heart. Follow the film on Facebook and Instagram to keep updated on upcoming screenings.

We’re so seated!
