Private Project

Garbage Island

Janaína and her father Alfredo are facing a traffic jam due to a flood. The girl throws a plastic bottle out of the car window. From that moment on, we follow the entire trajectory of the bottle, going through the sewer system, freshwater basins, riverside communities, all the way to the ocean, where the bottle settles on one of the large plastic islands present in the ocean..
