In a dark alley, a rat and a pigeon tear each other apart over mere crumbs. As they claw and bite for survival, they become unwilling witnesses to the grotesque excesses of human opulence.

Trash is a six-minute animated short with a destructured visual style, following the frantic chase of a rat and a pigeon through the alleys and crumbling buildings of a decaying city.

Created over a year and a half by eight students from ESMA Lyon, Trash is a modern fable about the excesses of humanity. The film questions human hubris while also leaving room for hope and beauty-even in the midst of chaos.
