Rabbit Stew

Rabbit Stew is about Sarah and Gianni. Lifelong friends at the ages of 10 and 13. They walk across an eccentric Maltese village, across colourful, mismatched buildings. To Sarah, the village is the whole world, and she thinks nothing of the people who inhabit it, but by the end of this live-action, feminist fairytale, she realises that adults are not as perfect as she thought.
