Some of Malta’s biggest stories are already absurd. Lovin Malta’s newest series, Miss Understanding Malta, simply takes that absurdity a little further. The satirical video series explores the country’s biggest talking points through dry humour, deadpan reporting and a deliberately unconventional approach to investigating the issues shaping everyday life on the island. Each episode takes a real story or debate and examines it through an unconventional lens- asking questions, speaking to the people involved and exploring situations that often become stranger the more closely you look at them. The first episode heads to Swieqi, where concerns around overtourism, short-let accommodation and the changing character of the locality have sparked debate among residents, tourists and authorities. Clara previously turned her attention to Comino, exploring the island’s overcrowding problem, its battle between tourism and conservation, and one particularly unexplained pineapple. The same approach now continues with Miss Understanding Malta, where real issues are investigated with a straight face and just enough confusion to uncover the contradictions behind them. Future episodes will tackle more of Malta’s biggest talking points, from traffic and public transport to development, construction, festas and the many contradictions that make island life unique. While the issues explored are very real, Miss Understanding Malta approaches them through satire, using humour and absurdity to highlight the questions hiding underneath the headlines. The first episode premieres tomorrow morning on Lovin Malta’s social media channels. READ NEXT:Five Years On, Daphne Foundation Says Malta Still Hasn’t Implemented Key Inquiry ReformsTags:malta
