MOSTRI is a movie that takes the audiences through the mythology and folklore of Maltese monsters.
The story has two tangents. On one hand we have Police Inspector Frans Abela, a human tormented from demons of his past. He is convinced that a monster, the 'Belliegha' (a well serpent) killed his sister while they were playing near a well. This incident happened when he was just a boy.
The movie starts with Frans being called back from suspended duty. A few months prior, he had assaulted a fellow officer. He is called to investigate a new grisly murder that baffled the police. Frans specialises in obsucre and enigmatic cases thus his insight was needed once again.
Frans starts to believe that this murder was indeed done by a monster and thinks he now has the evidence to prove it. Now more than ever he needs everyone to realise that monsters are real and living amongst the people. His problem is that he has to find a way to convince the police force, especially police psychiatrist Dr Karen Lombardi...that monsters really exist. This might decide his faith whether he is locked up in an ayslum or not.
The other path is that of a Jinn, a powerful monster dead set to rule both worlds, that of monsters and humans. He aims to achieve this with the help of a Demi God, 'The Gawgaw'. He created this abomination five hundred years ago,during the great siege of Malta.
'The Gawgaw' is a creature born from the forbidden mating of humans and monsters. He wields the power of regenerative immortality and psychic control of other monsters. Harnessing the Gawgaw's power the Jinn can rule unchallenged. All he has to do is find the Gawgaw in his human form, absorb his power and complete his vision.
These two story paths meet with a twisted fate culminating in a face off between man and monster.
