Luzzu
A Maltese fisherman is faced with abandoning generations of tradition when he finds his traditional fishing method no longer support his young family.
Watch now
Jesmark, a fisherman on the island of Malta, must make an agonising choice: repair his leaking Luzzu - the traditional wooden fishing boat that has been in his family for generations - or decommission it in exchange for a government pay-out.
Faced with the temptation of making easy money working for a black-market fishing operation, Jesmark must reconcile his desire to preserve tradition with the need to provide for his young family. The award-winning and critically acclaimed debut of writer-director Alex Camilleri recalls the neorealist traditions of Luchino Visconti, Roberto Rossellini and Ramin Bahrani, and offers a glimpse into the beauty of an island rarely portrayed in cinema.
