»Almodóvar’s new movie has the warmth and the grandiloquent flair of a picture from Hollywood’s golden age /…/ and the whiplash twists and addictive sugar rush bumps of a daytime soap. /…/ An emotional bundle of joy.«
- The Guardian
»A film everybody should love.«

When Mar’s estranged mother passes away, she sees her way out of Malta by selling off her inheritance: three pieces of farmland in the countryside. On her journey to claim her land, she meets Nenu, a spirited 80-year-old għana singer whose vibrant folk music pulls her into the colourful traditions of the island she’s been so eager to escape… Directed by the Maltese-American filmmaker Alex Camilleri (Luzzu).
