Produced on a micro-budget equivalent to $1200 excluding a 2-person technical crew provided by the Broadcasting Authority of Malta and excluding post production sound mix and music composition that took place in Vienna and provided by the co-producer.
Ebejer wrote more than 50 plays for theatre and television, and his novels have been translated into nine languages including Japanese. He received many awards, both locally and abroad, including France's Medaille d'Honeur de la Ville d'Avignon. Ebejer explored novel means of expression in dramatic literature. In his works one can trace a fascinating and intriguing development which is to this day debated in various universities across Europe. Despite his achievements Ebejer never postured as the international figure he was, though this lack of self-confidence was thought to actually spur his success. He was known to be an unhappy man with a complex and reserved personality, and his life was marred by tragedy that included the break-up of his marriage and tragic deaths in his family. Like many writers, Ebejer used these downfalls as a form of inspiration for his work, but he was to remain an extremely private and introverted character.
The documentary reveals that Francis Ebejer might have planned his exit from this world.
