Synopsis

In an anonymous metropolis, a garbage collector goes about his physically demanding daily work with quiet dignity. He lives alone, in modest circumstances. A brief encounter with an upper-class woman reveals the distance between their worlds. Gradually, hints emerge of the wife who once shared his life, though her fate remains unknown. With an observational, documentary-inspired visual style, Trashman Diary follows a man who carries on with quiet resolve amid loneliness and memories.
