Once Wanted
Saaren-Seppälä Iiris
Once Wanted portrays pieces of trash – the most underestimated creatures in the world – behaving like human beings. The trash struggle between their self-image, as well as their sense of reality, like people do. The film plays with guilt and shame related to both overconsumption and human needs.
