What begins as a playful exercise shouting words into the trash can grows into a powerful outlet for frustrations, worries, and dreams. We dive into the trash can and follow three children in their personal worlds: Jayden, who has always wanted to be a DJ but feels discouraged by her neighbor, a poet, until she decides to use his art form in her own style and finds her voice as a poetic DJ; Nour, who navigates between the worlds of her Dutch friends and her Egyptian father, searching for her own space within bi-cultural rules; and Kian, whose imagination takes him through climate disasters and political helplessness. Their inner worlds blend music, dance, poetry, and social reflection into a vibrant mosaic of imagination and civic engagement. The film unfolds as a circular narrative: only at the end do we realize that the opening scene is the closing image of a shared journey. Trash Palace is a film about how children, in all their playfulness and seriousness, find a space in a community center to voice their questions, fears, and dreams and dare to express them together.
