Malta, 1960s. Mariella is a young girl with a wild imagination, and in her imaginary world, she fights as hard as she can to save her mother from the British rulers and... her father, who seems to be conspiring with the enemy. In these years, the country is gaining its independence from the United Kingdom, but Mariella's gaze is that of a child who is unaware of history but knows that a great warrior can take on any challenge.
