The story of a nameless sanitation worker, introverted and self-destructive, whose own father was abusive, yet who manages to find happiness in his job, finding “treasures” in the trash: forgotten belongings that people no longer want, but full of beauty. And while things finally seem to be looking up for him, bringing him a loving partner and a darling little girl, the rotten core and cruelty of the outside world will once again force him into a corner and turn him into a reluctant anti-hero, cleansing the streets of every possible form of evil. For once and for all. screenplay Alfonso Bergamo Armando Festa Craig Peritz cinematography Daniele Poli production design Fabio Tresca cast Paolo Briguglia Tony Sperandeo Roberta Giarrusso Randall Paul productions Fenix Entertainment Gika Productions “The genesis of The Garbage Man is a potent 'what if' image inspired by the tragedy of Melissa Bassi, the schoolgirl killed by a bomb outside her school in 2012: in this film, a street cleaner finds a bomb, on the job, and saves her. The core of the film is this: the everyday hero who finds beauty in his trade. In the production of an independent film, with all the challenges that entails, in Italy, I tried to created a genre film that dared to put the image before the story itself. Together with the cinematographer Daniele Poli and the production designer Fabio Tresca, we tried to create a visual universe that would convey strong emotions and celebrate the potency of the filmic image.” (Alfonso Bergamo) Alfonso Bergamo was born in Battipaglia in 1986.

1838. Over the course of several centuries Luxembourg was subject to successive authoritarian and foreign regimes. Waves of famine and disease have now decimated its population. In the northern parts of the poverty-stricken region, The Graff family, a patriarch at its head, prevails within the walls of an isolated village. Thanks to them, its inhabitants have survived incessant woes and calamities. To guarantee their future, they have established strict, pious and oppressive rules that must be followed rigorously. But Helene, barely twelve years old, refuses to obey and tries to escape with the help of Graff’s youngest son, Jon, who is deeply attached to Helene. 15 years later Luxembourg is finally an independent nation. The landscape is being transformed by the construction of a railway, but the Graff family are still the undisputed rulers of their fortified village, despite the ageing and increasing physical fragility of the patriarch. When they discover a stranger, Oona, near the dead body of Graff’s right-hand man, they decide to welcome her into the village. screenplay Frédéric Zeimet Loïc Tanson cinematography Nikos Welter editing Loïc Tanson music Thorunn Egilsdottir Mike Koster production design Christina Schaffer costumes Magdalena Labuz cast Sophie Mousel Timo Wagner Jules Werner Marie Jung Luc Schiltz Jeanne Werner Philippe Thelen Jean-Paul Maes Denis Jousselin Max Gindorff Tommy Schlesser Larisa Faber Konstantin Rommelfangen Giusi Carenza Jamie Baillie Lou Beltramini producer Claude Waringo co-producer Patrick Quinet production Samsa Film production co-production Artémis Productions world sales One Eyed Films "The Last Ashes is rooted in a population closed in on itself, its traditions and its piety – traces of which still exist in current generations. However, I chose to anchor the story of The Last Ashes in the frame of a fairy tale, like those by Charles Perrault, whose desire in the 17th century was to make the fairy tale as popular as possible and for it to gain recognition as a literary genre. Perrault appropriated popular folk stories from the oral tradition and turned them into highly moral fairy tales. Mixing human barbarity with bloody violence, Perrault’s literary world describes a blunt and undeniable cruelty – a cruelty that can be understood in its etymological sense: Whoever sheds human blood."
