Poupelle of Chimney Town is the breathtaking story of young Lubicchi and a man made of garbage, Poupelle.

Spectacularly beautiful, Poupelle of Chimney Town is filled with inspiring performances, splendid music and sound effects. Produced at Tokyo’s famed STUDIO4ºC, this astonishing film will bring tears, laughter, and joy.
