Synopsis
Šiukšlyno Žmonės (2024) is a Lithuanian drama series you can watch online on iFILM. Lithuania, 1989: twelve-year-old Matas, raised in a state orphanage, is blamed for a killing he had nothing to do with.
To dodge the punishment, he and ten-year-old Guste run — and the first garbage truck that stops carries them straight to the city dump. Passing themselves off as brother and sister, the two try to carve out a life among the trash. What waits there is hunger, casual cruelty, and adults happy to put children to work. Matas thinks faster than his age, yet every plan he makes runs into something he didn't see coming.
Adapted from Edmundas Malukas' novel, the show pulls no punches despite the youth of its leads. This is a bleak survival story for viewers ready for hard material, not a comforting drama. Stream Šiukšlyno Žmonės online on iFILM.
