Opening on Friday 14 November, this new comedy in Maltese will present a highly comical scenario whilst also dealing with the culturally relevant issues of technology and artificial intelligence. Directed by Josette Ciappara, ‘SOFIE’ follows Thomas who, much to his wife’s dismay, has ordered a drone online. When the delivery arrives, instead of a drone they find an attractive girl robot, who quickly learns to adapt to her new environment. Their son Mark is amused, the maid is perplexed and the Customs Department is on their heels.  

Under Josette Ciappara’s direction, a strong team of local actors will deliver Anthony Portelli’s fast-paced and witty script. The cast features Simon Curmi, Sarah Vella, Magda van Kuilenburg, Justin Calleja, Christine Francalanza, Mario (Snits) Spiteri and Emmanuel Cassar.
