Jesmark, a Maltese fisherman, contends with a newfound leak in his wooden Luzzu boat. Barely getting by, he sees his livelihood - and a family tradition from generations before him - imperiled by diminishing harvests, a ruthless fishing industry, and a stagnating ecosystem. Desperate to provide for his wife and their newborn son, Jesmark gradually slips into an illicit black-market fishing operation.
Winner of the Special Jury Award in Acting at the Sundance Festival, Luzzu heralds the arrival of Alex Camilleri as a gripping storyteller in the neorealist tradition. The film borrows its name from the colorful, handcrafted fishing boats, part of the island’s tradition.
