A secret world of forgotten little objects unfolds, where clutter and treasure junk into unexpected narratives.
Synopsis
There is a secret world inside our drawers, in our pockets, and even hidden beneath a pile of clothes shaped like a mammoth. It is a world filled with objects of all kinds—some kept unknowingly, others treasured with certainty. Over time, they all end up gathered at the bottom of some forgotten place. Marbles mixed with sweets, a unique stone alongside a metro ticket, a fallen baby tooth next to a coat button… Tiny lost treasures or clutter that should go straight to the bin… Or maybe not? Is it junk or treasure?
