Trash

Packendes "Slumdog Millionaire"-Abenteuer, das mit Rooney Mara und Martin Sheen fürs Kino verfilmt wurde.

Raphael, Gardo und Ratte leben auf den Müllhalden außerhalb Manilas. Jeden Tag durchforsten sie den Müll nach Nahrung oder Gegenständen, die sie verkaufen können. Bis Raphael eines Tages einen sensationellen Fund macht: eine Tasche mit viel Geld sowie einen Schlüssel, der zu einem Schließfach gehört. Das größte Abenteuer ihres Lebens beginnt! Plötzlich sind die drei Freunde auf der Flucht. Von der Polizei gnadenlos gejagt, führt sie die Suche nach dem Besitzer der Tasche von den schmutzigsten Ecken in die wohlhabendste Gegend der Stadt. Und nur ein Wunder kann ihnen am Ende noch helfen, ihren Lebenstraum zu erfüllen ...

NOW A MAJOR FILM BY STEPHEN DALDRY AND RICHARD CURTIS

Raphael is a dumpsite boy. He spends his days wading through mountains of steaming trash, sifting it, sorting it, breathing it, sleeping next to it.

Then one unlucky-lucky day, Raphael's world turns upside down. A small leather bag falls into his hands. It's a bag of clues. It's a bag of hope. It's a bag that will change everything.

Soon Raphael and his friends Gardo and Rat are running for their lives. Wanted by the police, it takes all their quick-thinking and fast-talking to stay ahead. As the net tightens, they uncover a dead man's mission to put right a terrible wrong.

And now it's three street boys against the world...
