In less than ten minutes, in his sharp, critical and pungent way, Trbuljak deals with some of the most important problems of modern world: its internal structure, (un)fairness and relation to the ideals of the French Revolution that all of us still invoke, even only declaratively. The film consists of several scenes, shot in various cities and on various continents, always showing the same: garbage containers and people digging out food scraps from them. Container covers slide open and closed and each of them hides one of the three words of the well-known triptych: Liberté, égalité, fraternité. History has witnessed various combinations of these words; sometimes they would be combined with other words, sometimes some of them were dropped. However, the liberté, égalité, fraternité sequence is the one that has persisted. We will find it in the motto of French state, on French Euro coins and in the first article of the United Nations General Declaration of Human Rights. The question the author is making is: Has the time come to replace these words with some other words or has the time come to change ourselves maybe? |
