Trash

Synopsis: Trash takes place entirely in a municipal landfill, where two estranged sisters have come to look for a letter from their mother that the younger sister threw out unopened. They've come directly from their mother's funeral - the first time they've seen each other in years. As they dig through the literal and metaphorical trash heap, they get further and further into their complicated relationship with each other, and with the shadow of a domineering mother who still controls and influences them even after her death.
