What a total waste of time. It's about a young garbage man who secretly hooks up with guys. There is almost no dialogue, no storyline or character development. It mostly just goes from one hook up to the next and most of the background noise is made up of dogs barking or whining off camera. To add to this, the main character is awkward and mentally unstable to the point where he is a danger to others. This was just utterly pointless with no ending at all.
