CGiii Comment

In a word: Rubbish.

It is about trash, a collector of...

An evolution of dehumanization, of obsession that turns the lead character into more animal than man - which is not exactly a pleasant message to convey or to watch.

An unattainable sexual fantasy reducing mankind into the wasteland of depravity.

By the end (and the end is unbearably protracted) you will feel dirty and squalid - leaving you with an immense desire to jump into the shower and scrub until your skin is red raw.

Distasteful and derelict.

Extreme and dark.

Uncompromising and compelling.

Watch it!

The(ir) Blurb...

Young and handsome Sergio works the night shift as a trash collector in Lisbon, Portugal. He can't force himself to connect with his pretty female co-worker Fatima, who displays an avid interest in him, so instead Sergio roams the city with the trash company's pet dog. Eventually Sergio becomes fascinated with a sleek motorcycle, and then also its owner, João - a young man totally indifferent to Sergio. The frustrated trash collector's surfacing sexual desires unleash his darkest impulses, sending him down a dangerous path of violence, depravity and degradation.
