We follow a young girl, Leah, who was participating in one of the Teatru Malta projects - Trikki Trakki Youth Theatre Festival. After the festival is halted, she must go back to her new-normal life: going to zoom-school, and scrolling through social media. She gets very frustrated that she cannot interact with anyone anymore except for online. In a fantastical adventure, she re-discovers books and a secret library, learning about theatre and renaissance.
We follow a young girl, Leah, who was participating in one of the Teatru Malta projects - Trikki Trakki Youth Theatre Festival - which was set to be in full production. The festival is halted, and the young girl must go back to her new-normal life; going to zoom-school, and scrolling through social media. She gets very frustrated that she cannot interact with anyone anymore except for online interaction, and we feel a sense of desensitisation of the world around her. Leah climbs into bed, looks around her room and re-discovers books. She starts to enjoy reading again. She's determined to read more, so she goes to a library and starts picking up more books from the library, learning about theatre and renaissance.
