Turobna društvena stvarnost na različitim meridijanima i paralelama izbija iz svakog kadra rubno eksperimentalnog dokumentarca L.E.F. Gorana Trbuljaka. U kontrastu s naslovom koji je izvorni akronim glasovitog slogana Francuske revolucije o jednakosti, bratstvu i slobodi, autor nam u svega 9 minuta prikazuje drugačije i tjeskobnije „pobratimstvo lica u svemiru“, ono siromašnih i nesretnih ljudi koji diljem svijeta kopaju po kontejnerima i kantama za smeće, prebirući po otpacima i ostacima hrane.

Synopsis:

In less than ten minutes, in his sharp, critical and pungent style, Trbuljak deals with some of the most important problems of the modern world: its internal structure, injustice and the attitude towards the ideals of the French Revolution, which are nowadays still, if only declaratively, invoked by many. The film consists of several scenes, shot in various cities on various continents, all depicting the same: waste containers and people digging out food scraps and junk. Container lids slide open, each of them unveiling one of the three words of the well-known 'triptych': “Liberté, égalite, fraternité”. The author is raising the question, whether the meaning of these words has changed up to the present day?
