Director's statement
This film started as a personal challenge to live zero waste.
We really made it for ourselves as a sort of film journal.
But the more we got interested in zero waste, the more we realized that we really wanted to share our story with a wide audience, and film is a perfect way to do that.
There are so many environmental films that have great information but that leave you feeling hopeless...
We wanted to make something upbeat and positive to inspire personal action.
Why we selected this film
A very humoristic film about a likeable and dedicated couple that shows each of us how we can make a difference for the environment in our daily lives.
We follow each of the protagonists in their search for “less is more”, in their doubts and frustrations, in their desires and contradictions.
Playful and very enjoyable to watch, it mirrors our own questions and difficulties in staying consistent in our choices of purchases and ecological hopes.

Zéro déchet avec tous ces emballages que l on nous impose …. je reste un peu sceptique. Les reduire mais je ne pense pas à zéro déchet dès demain. Il faudra un peu de temps encore mais bel espoir tout de même.

Film qui met bien en évidence les possibles et les difficultés du 0 déchet avec l’idée que c’est possible.

Super, bravo!
