MALTA KANO, TX tells the story of a couple in crisis where the husband and wife seem to be unable to tame each other anymore.  Through gesture and dance, the film explores the tragic yet beautiful metamorphosis one undergoes in the quest to preserve love.

"Frédérique and her team, through the medium of film, have successfully captured the dreamlike essence of my work."   – Dominic Walsh
