White Trash

Norwegian title: Hvite niggere

Ingvar Ambjørnsen

White Trash is a generous and brutal story about outsiders rebelling against the hypocritical and complacent bourgeoisie. It is also the tale of a desperate journey towards downfall. White Trash is the story of an outsider, told by one of them. Like a glowing thread through the story we find the depictions of uncompromising friendship and solidarity. The threesome Erling, Carly and Rita, childhood friends and wannabe artists, are by no means a lucky bunch. They have chosen the ecstasy and explosion as a lifestyle, and fail at any frail attempts to adapt to society.
