Zejtune

Alex Camilleri
Malta, Germany, Qatar / Drama / 108’ / 2026

“A love letter to where you’re from, a poem for how you were raised, and a farewell card for when you may be leaving that birth land behind.”

— Next Best Picture
“Warm, humane, and quietly transporting, Zejtune is one of Tribeca’s most rewarding discoveries—a road movie with dust on its boots, music in its soul, and a profound understanding of what it means to belong.”

After her estranged mother’s death, Mar plans to leave Malta for good by selling the farmland she’s inherited. But as she travels the island to claim her land, she meets Nenu, an irrepressible 80-year-old folk singer whose music and spirit challenge her desire to escape. An unexpected connection between past and present grows as Mar slowly warms to the homeland she wanted to turn her back on.
