Trash is a 2014 Brazilian-British adventure drama thriller film directed by Stephen Daldry and written by Richard Curtis,[3] based on Andy Mulligan's 2010 novel of same name.[4] The film stars Rooney Mara, Martin Sheen, Wagner Moura, and Selton Mello.

Plot

Trash follows three Brazilian street teenagers; Raphael, Gardo, and Rato who spend their time picking through litter in the hope of finding useful waste. One day they discover a wallet whose contents will bring them into conflict with the brutal local police force as they find themselves unlikely whistleblowers in a city rife with corruption.[5] Rather than turn the wallet over to the authorities for a reward, the kids seek the confidence of a priest, Father Juilliard (Martin Sheen) and an NGO-worker, Olivia (Rooney Mara).
