Scicluna plays Jesmark, a struggling fisherman, who is forced to turn his back on generations of tradition and risk everything by entering the world of blackmarket fishing to provide for his wife and newborn baby.

In receiving the award, Scicluna thanked director Alex Camilleri, and casting director Edward Said, “for taking a leap of faith in me”.

The film was made with the support of the Malta Film Fund and the financial incentives provided by the Malta Film Commission and the Government of Malta. The sales are handled by Memento Films International.
