Dirt! The Movie (2009)

Actors

Plot
A look at man's relationship with Dirt. Dirt and humans couldn't be closer. We started our journey together as stardust, swirled by cosmic forces into our galaxy, solar system, and planet. We are made of the same stuff. Four billion years of evolution created dirt as the living source of all life on Earth including humans. Dirt has given us food, shelter, fuel, medicine, ceramics, flowers, cosmetics and color --everything needed for our survival. For most of the last ten thousand years we humans understood our intimate bond with dirt and the rest of nature. We took care of the soils that took care of us. But, over time, we lost that connection. Our species became greedy and careless. We still depend on dirt, but now we abuse and ignore it. We are destroying our last natural resource with our agriculture, our mining, and our paving over the planet for cities. We turned dirt into something "dirty." In doing so, we transform the skin of the earth into a hellish and dangerous landscape for all life on earth. A millennial shift in consciousness about the environment offers a beacon of hope - and practical solutions. Around the globe, pioneers are coming together to save earth's last natural resource. Tiny villages rise up to battle giant corporations slaughtering their land. Scientists discover connections with soil that can balance global warming. Generation X brands organic farming as trendy and children begin to eat from edible school yards. Inmates find inner peace and job skills in a prison horticulture program. Medical researchers explore dirt's capacity to provide solutions to such devastating health crises as AIDS. Major religions are rediscovering the reverence for the natural world that unites them all. Uses animation, vignettes, personal accounts and story telling.

Actors

Plot
Tommy is basically a nice guy, but he's got a criminal record and no money. Trying to get a little portering work at the railway station, he carries some bags for a couple of crooks, but the bags are stolen: they actually belong to Lola, a cabaret performer. Tommy finds out that the crooks are just out of prison and are planning a big bank robbery, and he decides to get in on the job, so as to expose them later. They need to rent a flat above the bank strong room, and the caretaker, (Hans Gippner) will only let it out to women. Luckily the stolen suitcases contain all of Lola's stage costumes, fortunately in sizes suitable for all three men. Back to the flat, and Gippner is taken in by the "women". The owners of the flat are two anthropologists who suddenly return from Africa and want their flat back: Gippner had no right to let it out. However the tense situation is defused when two of the crooks, still in drag, flirt with the two men and are invited out to dinner. Predictable slapstick ensues; but will Tommy turn over a new leaf and return to the straight and narrow?
