900 TONS is a tragicomedy that deals with appearance, reality and how far we’re willing to go, to keep our self-constructed narratives alive. Hungry for life, our egos tend to fill the void with things that only make us hungrier. The film questions what it means to be a human being today. It interrogates the value of a person and what we as humans value. 900 TONS is also the amount of trash produced by the city of Lisbon in one single day. By tackling serious subjects with dry humor and humanity, this film aims to blend the funny, absurd and profound.
