Tania Schembri

KWIR, the first LGBTIQ+ series in Malta that tackles love, identity, and the journey of a footballer, Lysander, as he dares to explore his true self and break barriers in the world of football. Featuring drag performers, an authentic cast, and a bold message to dehomophobe football.

Merjen tells the story of two childhood friends, who grow up to become lovers - a morbid relationship rooted in visceral sexual attraction, which quickly spirals into the dark realm of domestic abuse and leads to two vicious murders. With motherhood as its core theme, the story unfolds in the sordid back alleys and slums that are Merjen's world, as this broken yet fiery woman, an absent mother to her toddler Chris, is inexorably propelled towards ultimate tragedy.
