Alex CamilleriMalta / 94′ / 2021.

Jesmark je mladi malteški ribar koji uzdržava obitelj ribolovom drvenim brodom naslijeđenim od oca. Sve manji ulovi, nametnute zakonske restrikcije i kompetitivno ribarsko tržište dovode ga do financijske krize koju produbljuju neočekivani izdaci za zdravlje novorođenog sina. Očajnički želeći financijski osigurati obitelji, Jesmark ulazi u svijet ilegalnog ribolova okrećući leđa generacijama ribarske tradicije. Luzzu je prvi malteški film ikada prikazan na platnu velikog festivala, Sundance Film Festivala, a glavnu ulogu tumači naturščik Jesmark Scicluna koji je za svoju impresivnu glumačku izvedbu nagrađen.

Alex CamilleriMalta / 94′ / 2021

Young Maltese fisherman Jesmark supports his family by fishing with a wooden boat inherited from his father. Increasingly competitive fishing industry and diminishing harvests lead Jesmark into a financial crisis, further deepened by his newborn son’s unexpected health expenditures. Desperate to provide for his family, Jesmark is forced to turn his back on generations of tradition and enter the world of blackmarket fishing. In the first Maltese feature ever to compete at a major international festival, Sundance Film Festival, the main character is played by a non-professional Jesmark Scicluna, who is awarded for the best male role.
