Plot

An ensemble set in Malta that focuses on four characters: Bozo, a children's party clown who is a closet pedophile; Claudia, a stage actress who is paralyzed with feelings of insignificance and is driven to do the extreme; Kyle, a family man with a deaf son who finds it increasingly difficult to cope with challenges at home and at work; and DJ Trim, a talk radio show presenter suffering from an anxiety disorder who advocates for the rights of illegal immigrants and becomes the target of unwanted attention from a threatening caller.

Four people, four explosive tales of life in contemporary Malta: Bozo, a birthday party clown struggles to keep his pedophilic urges in check; Claudia, a depressed actress contemplates an act of unthinkable violence; DJ Trim, an American radio DJ finds himself at the center of a firestorm when he speaks out for immigrant rights; and Kyle, a husband and father buckles under the weight of stress at home and work. As their lives cross paths, each hurtles towards a moment of reckoning. This all-too-rare example of Maltese cinema tackles a host of hot-button issues-from the refugee crisis to mental illness - with a mix of dark surrealism and unflinching candor.—Panorama Europe Film Festival (2017) - press release
