Delfina

Written by Chris Zarb and Mario Cordina, the film is about a  day in the life of a teenage girl, suffering from phonophobia and trapped in a dysfunctional family. Driven by the impulsive waves of coincidence, the ripples of unintended consequences lead to an irreversible climax. Starring upcoming Maltese local star Geordie Schembri, the film meanders through the uneasy relationship of an adolescent with her mother Valerie (Rowena Gauci Davidson) and her new partner Robert (Daniel Attard Portughes). Not a film to be missed.
