Lecturer
John, a Maltese student with big dreams and a serious lack of sleep, has had a busy and exhausting last couple of days. It all takes a toll on him during one night whilst driving home from work. His going missing effects a series of coincidental events on a night of tragedy.
Physician
Un arquitecto cascarrabias y brillante, Alfred, se embarca en un encargo muy inusual en Malta para un hombre que se hace llamar "El Gran Duque de Córcega". Una epidemia golpea la isla y todos deben huir, pero Alfred queda para terminar el trabajo.
Parish Priest
Young Theo is sent on his first trip with his Maltese sea faring family, but things go terribly wrong when the 'Simshar' sinks, leaving the crew stranded in the Mediterranean... Simultaneously, Alex - a medic reluctantly dispatched onto a Turkish Merchant vessel which has rescued a group of stranded African boat people between Malta and Italy - gets stuck on the boat as the countries wage a bureaucratic war over who should take in the migrants... The stories unravel in parallel and culminate tragically when the fishermen are traced down, but by that time there's only one survivor.
Lord William
En la Malta del siglo XIV, cinco soldados buscan refugio en el largo camino de regreso a casa después de la guerra y se ven envueltos en una batalla por la supervivencia.
