The Millars - Malta's most prominent artists and philanthropists - are winding down after celebrating their gold wedding anniversary, when they're interrupted by a knock in the middle of the night. A man humbly asks for their help. The Millars oblige, because their charity is bottomless - but so is their need to make art.
