“A master class in how to adapt – and improve! – a fine original screenplay from one cultural setting to another. Ishiguro actually manages to make an already subtle, quiet drama even subtler, and more emotional.” – Cinema Scope. “An absolutely gorgeous, heartbreaking piece of work.”
– Rolling Stone

When Mar’s estranged mother passes away, she sees her way out of Malta by selling off her inheritance: three pieces of farmland in the countryside. On her journey to claim her land, she meets Nenu, a spirited 80-year-old għana singer whose vibrant folk music pulls her into the colourful traditions of the island she’s been so eager to escape… Directed by the Maltese-American filmmaker Alex Camilleri (Luzzu).
