. The main character learns a lesson about the power of sacrifice as he must give up a long-lasting family custom because of restrictions, low earnings, and climate change. Camilleri and cinematographer Léo Lefèvre capture the dying art of Maltese fishing with sincerity, curiosity, and realism, by using untrained actors to add rawness and authenticity to this subtle drama.
The film follows Jesmark , a Maltese fisherman looking to preserve his family fishing legacy using a passed down traditional Maltese Luzzu boat. For fishermen on the island, the industry is quickly dying as locals decommission their fishing boats en masse in exchange for government payout. Jes doesn’t want to leave this life behind, but he’s not making any money and has his wife Denise and a sick child to support.
