- Dimitrios, having returned to the Mediterranean island of Malta to reunite with his ex-wife and child, finds himself adrift in an overdeveloped and densely populated village. Originally designed for budget travelers, the village has transformed into a haven for the country's working poor and economic migrants. Tortured by an unfortunate past, Dimitrios navigates his days penniless and bereft. Amidst this desolation, he encounters Annie, a foreign caregiver, and their shared odyssey becomes a battle against economic and divine obstacles.
- On an island an old man wracked with dementia dreams he was once a king. Together with his two daughters they exist in the wake of a bizarre malady of mysterious origin on a land devoid of animal life.
- 'I Yam What I Yam...L'invenzione' is centered around the collision of two films originally shot on the same location; Emidio Greco's 'L'invenzione di Morel' (1974) and Robert Altman's 'Popeye' (1980). In Greco's film a shipwrecked man stumbles upon an ultra-modernist mansion. In it he finds a group of people trapped in a perpetual present facilitated by a machine that's capable of reproducing reality. Sant's reinvention of this film is shot on the same location, follows the same storyline, but occupies another world. In place of the mansion, he finds himself in 'Sweethaven' - the set of Altman's 'Popeye'. Though there is no trace of Greco's set, Altman's 'Sweethaven' remains - echoing Greco's plot by existing as an open-air museum where costumed entertainers re-enact scenes.
