Synopsis

Mark, an art student nearing the end of his university days, finds himself increasingly disconnected from the places and situations that once brought him joy.

Along the way, Mark encounters a series of poignant and unexpected moments that challenge his perspective, leading him to reevaluate his path and ultimately changing the course of his life forever.

Manuel Xuereb, star of Greater Ground, later collaborated with its director, Federico Chini, to adapt author Pierre J. Mejak's nostalgic tribute to the Gozo of his youth. This project brought together Xuereb and Chini once again, capturing the essence of a time gone by on the island through Mejak's reflective storytelling.
