Trash-picking goes on in the slums of Rio, and two boys find a wallet in amongst the daily detritus of their local dump. However, little do they imagine that their lives are about to change forever. But when the local police show up, offering a handsome reward for the wallet’s return, the boys, Rafael and Gardo, realize that what they’ve found must be important, since all the bad guys are after their blood in order to get it.
Directed by Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot), it stars Rooney Mara, Martin Sheen and Wagner Moura.
Trash looks rather like formulaic… ‘trash’, but if you want something that’s bound to be feel-good nonsense, then it’s released in the UK on January 30th.
