The refusers

The refusers

‘Dirty,’ ‘a failure’, ‘broken.’ The things people say about an old mattress, a home-made painting and a broken mirror are really not nice. But in this dazzling animated mini musical about self-respect, they sing to each other around the waste container to raise their spirits. With a backing group of garbage bags and discarded chewing gum and an old newspaper that dances with the wind.
