OUR DAILY BREAD
(t.l.: Il nostro pane quotidiano)
Ci sono persone che devono mangiare dalla spazzatura.
Così è il mondo. Un documentario corto girato nei bassifondi
filippini, su come una famiglia sia letteralmente
costretta a razzolare tutti i giorni in cerca del pane quotidiano,
su come l’immondizia di un uomo si trasformi in un
sostegno prezioso per un’altra famiglia.
