"The Garbage Man" at Annecy and Animafest |
|
Laura Gonçalves' latest film will be in competition at two of the world's most important animation festivals.

Synopsis: On a hot August afternoon, the family gathered at the table remembers uncle Botão: the Colonial War, emigration to France, where he lived and worked thirty years as a garbage man. Memories of each are crossed to tell the story of a man who lived a hard life through humor and fantasy, like when he returned to Belmonte, in a van full of trash, turned into a real treasure.
