Interesting and enjoyable film about the decline of traditional fishing, which does not exactly lead to the prosperity of the local population, but also, due to all kinds of regulations and imposed quotas, encourages clandestine work and trade.
Film exudes naturalness and authenticity.
By the way: in one scene a discussion arises about whether or not to catch a species of fish.
It's an Espada. Have tasted it a few times. Delicious. In Madeira they make it a specialty. With bananas. Please.

A Maltese film, that is something different and in that funny language.
Interesting theme in itself and filmed quite smoothly, but the atmosphere often remains somewhat flat, partly due to the not very charismatic acting.

Due to European regulations, the Maltese fisherman Jesmark [Jesmark Scicluna] is in danger of losing his livelihood. His wife [Michela Farrugia] may have a job in a restaurant, but Jesmark wants to help support his newborn son [Timur Ali]. To do so, he finds himself on thin ice (despite the beautiful weather). The title refers to the traditional, colorful boats that are characteristic of Malta. The story and the development are not original, but Camilleri does provide an interesting insight into the fishing industry in Malta and that produces beautiful images.
