The Voiceless

2022 · 85 min

A gentle, wordless comic fable about scavengers scraping by, charming and quietly absurd, with a soft heart beneath the grime.

Overview: A small clan lives in the underworld of a rubbish dump. They recycle the waste they find or steal, in order to cobble their home together. Life there could be so sweet, were it not for a chief inspector hot on their heels.
