This film concerns gleaners, people who collects what other people throw away, food and junk etc. We met them at a potato field, on a cabbage field and on the markets. People who dont hesitate to look in the nearest thrash can for both breakfast and dinner.
We meet a man who always arrive to the fruit market after closing time to get parsley, and spends the evening teaching african immigrants how to read and write. And another man who builds high towers out of junk. People who are very poor, outside the community, but mostly happy.
One cant help to wonder why so food producers throw away so much when people go hungry. And why are todays society so focused on buying new things all the time, instead of repair things when they break.
