A sunset over Malta's majestic cliffs. An aerial view of Valletta, historic capital of the Knights. Then a zoom into its streets ... and a man looking out of a Maltese balcony watching life go by.

Luzzu fishing boats bobbing up and down in Marsaxlokk harbour and fishermen tending to their boats. Some treasured Maltese emblems, such as its topography and palaces. A tractor ploughing the fields.

Jesus's arms wide open on the Tas-Salvatur hilltop in Gozo representing the Maltese Islands' Catholic faith. The Love Malta mosaic in Marsaxlokk that touches our heart strings. Churches and the Siege Bell War Memorial that symbolise the devotion and courage of the Maltese. The riches within those churches that illustrate not just the wealth of art therein, but also the wealth within the hearts of the people.

A peek into the day to day lives of ordinary people amid enchanting old cities, the beauty of the land and the power of the sea. Saltpans to show the way man has carved the land for his survival, and modern towns to show to what extent. Tradition meets contemporary life.

Blend with some evocative music and the sound of seagulls, and a tear is surely to roll from your eye. This is the Malta that makes visitors fall in love and moves locals to tears.

This film by Oliver Astrologo with music by Max LL has been around since 2017 and has over 111,000 views - but it deserves so much more. This is Malta truly as it is. A real representation of what makes Malta so special.

It is certainly not the usual video of Malta that's portrayed in superficial tourist-oriented videos that show al fresco dining, playing with an inflatable ball on the beach and shots of an overcrowded Blue Lagoon. It's what's authentic and real that makes you feel, and it's what you feel that truly drives you.
