Plastic Bag

I know it's easy to scroll past but this is definitely worth a watch. Really, it is.
This short film by American director Ramin Bahrani (Goodbye Solo) traces the epic, existential journey of a plastic bag (voiced by Werner Herzog) searching for its lost maker, the woman who took it home from the store and eventually discarded it. Along the way, it encounters strange creatures, experiences love in the sky, grieves the loss of its beloved maker, and tries to grasp its purpose in the world.



"I wish you had created me so I could die." I want to cry for the plastic bag.
