IL-ĦAJJATA is a ten-part Maltese drama series that follows the extraordinary true story of Charles & Ron,
an unlikely pair who built a fashion house against the odds. From Charles’s modest beginnings in Birkirkara with a fascination for fabric, to Ron’s restless search for meaning in Amsterdam’s underground nightlife, the series charts their magnetic first encounter, passionate connection and unrelenting pursuit of a shared dream.

Set in the vibrant 1990s and early 2000s, and moving between Malta, Amsterdam, Paris and New York, IL ĦAJJATA weaves together heritage and glamour, art and ambition, love and loyalty. With each episode capturing key turning points in their creative and personal journey, the series unfolds as a stylish, emotionally charged tale of two men redefining Malta’s couture while navigating a world they barely understood.

With a narrative blend of intimate flashbacks, high stakes fashion milestones and cultural commentary, Il-Ħajjata is Malta’s first major biopic drama centred around the true story of fashion icons Charles & Ron. A story of love, artistic vision, and the power of self made identity.
