Synopsis:
Dust and Glitter is a simple story about two people from different environments who live next to each other but never communicate directly. Magda, a young, naive girl, astonished by the glitter of the city, yearns for friendship with Chihuahua, a small dog that embodies the posh life. Trevor is an older homeless man who has spent many years on the street, but now must fight to defend his territory against Hyena. Although they do not know it, the lives and desires of Magda and Trevor overlap in something that mirrors and indirectly affects each other.
