Hikmat ekes out a living by collecting recyclables from garbage dumpsters around town that everyone knows “belong” to him. As a gypsy, he is treated poorly by the other boys and cheated by the guy who buys his days’ collection. When he finds a refugee kid “stealing” from one of the dumpsters in his territory, he is incensed until he comes to realise that rich or poor, citizen or migrant, we are all connected in this life – and it is compassion that will ease our journey.
