The Passion of Rita Camilleri

Overview

Rita is an eight-year-old, Maltese Canadian girl with a vast imagination that is somewhat warped by her Catholic beliefs. Rita is alone with her visions and is more alone when her best friend Diane dies in a house fire. She is filled with questions and is brought to ease when Diane appears as an angel. Rita is still alone but not as lonely. Overnight, she conquers her fears and struts with confidence.
