Artificial

Story about the queen of trash.
Is it the crackling and crackling of the sea waves, or the rustling of metallized plastic? This short film is only a moment about the human, human tribe, who disrupted the organic construction of the planet with foreign bodies polluting it. Will we succeed in becoming part of nature again, or will we remain out-of-context intruders forever?
