I liked this film almost instantly, cos it was so new and on-topic, about fisherman and boats inherited from generations before like almost forever... (as about as Christian as you can get) even if they do speak mostly Maltease with some English subtitles, when speaking English.
I have personal experience of all these things, including spending 2 weeks with my then Girlfriend about 45 years ago in St Paul's Bay and getting the Ferry to Gozo..
My Mum, very Christian and religious had just got back from Malta, and she suggested us two had only just met would love it and we did...
But this film is not about my ancient history (we split up)..but about the love of a man and a woman and their baby and trying to survive in the most difficult circumstances, when the small fishing boats are replaced by trawlers destroying the sea bed in the med, which I know well
The acting is so good, its almost like a documentary..In fact most of the actors are very much for real Malteasers. They just seem so completely innocent, and want their lives involving the most beautiful wooden hand painted fishing boats to go on, after they have rebuilt them. I'm sure it will. This film is not heavy. It's soft and nice portraying the lives of real people who live in Malta now.
