Jesmark (Jesmark Scicluna) is a Maltese fisherman from a family line of fishers before him. He owns an aging wooden fishing boat known as a luzzu that is badly in need of repairs. But after his wife (Michela Farrugia) gives birth to a boy who needs expensive medical treatment, Jesmark is forced to confront whether to carry on with his humble luzzu or trade it in for an EU payout and join a clandestine black-market job undercutting local fishers and his peers. Written and directed by Alex Camilleri.
