Des ordures abandonnées dans la rue se lamentent sur leur sort. Quand le vent se met à faire danser un journal, les autres objets délaissés commencent à voir de la beauté là où ils ne voyaient que des déchets, et se lancent dans une comédie musicale.

On a street corner in the city, a heap of dumped garbage surrounds two garbage containers. An old mattress begins to speak sadly: “They say I’m dirty…” Other pieces of garbage join in, sharing the reasons why they have been discarded. Then, a newspaper is picked up by the wind and seems to dance in the spotlight of a streetlamp. Inspired, the waste begins to see themselves positively. Their enthusiasm evolves into a spectacle of song and dance.
