MAN vs TRASH
Original title: Super TRASH
A film by Martin Esposito
Martin, a thirty years old man, is both the main actor and the filmmaker of this film. He returns to his childhood place which is now buried by a huge open dump. Only his childhood cabin is still there at the edge of the dump. Martin decides to settle and live in this world of garbage, punctuated by the never-ending back and forth dance of trucks and bulldozers leveling and discharging waste. For days and months, Martin will mark his place in an unbearable universe seemingly driving to madness. But the young man does not want to resign and tries to make of the place a playful and more human universe.
