Mary Rose Mallia

A woman gives birth to a baby girl in an asylum that appears to operate a brutal and abusive regime. The baby is "sold" by the doctor in charge of the asylum to the mother's extreme distress.

An ensemble set in Malta that focuses on four characters: Bozo, a children's party clown who is a closet pedophile; Claudia, a stage actress who is paralyzed with feelings of insignificance and is driven to do the extreme; Kyle, a family man with a deaf son who finds it increasingly difficult to cope with challenges at home and at work; and DJ Trim, a talk radio show presenter suffering from an anxiety disorder who advocates for the rights of illegal immigrants and becomes the target of unwanted attention from a threatening caller.

This black comedy takes place in the span of a morning and afternoon where we enter the lives of two awkward young English adults who have been forced into living with their authoritarian Italian grandmother who resides in Malta. Together they like skinning animals for fun and, after skinning their first cat, things get out of hand.
