After her estranged mother’s death, Mar plans to leave Malta for good by selling the farmland she’s inherited. But as she travels the island to claim her land, she meets Nenu, an irrepressible 80-year-old folk singer whose music and spirit challenge her desire to escape. An unexpected connection between past and present grows as Mar slowly warms to the homeland she wanted to turn her back on.

The screening on Wednesday, June 24 will be presented by its director, Alex Camilleri. The session will be moderated by Ana Catalá, the festival programmer.
