A hardworking MaItese fisherman, Jesmark is faced with an agonizing choice. He can repair his leaky luzzu – a traditionaI, multicolored wooden fishing boat – in the hopes of eking out a meager living at sea for his wife and newborn son, just as his father and grandfather did before him. Or he can decommission it in exchange for an EU payout and cast his Iot with a sinister black-market operation that is decimating the Mediterranean fish population and the liveIihoods of the locaI famiIies who depend on it. Luzzu won a Sundance Jury Prize for its nonprofessional Iead actor Jesmark Scicluna, a reaI-life MaItese fisherman, and heralds the arrival of writer-director-editor AIex Camilleri. His gripping fiIm operates in the neorealist tradition of Luchino Visconti, Roberto RosseIini, and the Dardenne brothers and caIIs to mind the work of his mentor Ramin Bahrani (Man Push Cart, The White Tiger), aIso a producer of the fiIm.
