In the dark back streets of a prosperous city lie piles of rubbish. Accompanied by his good friends, a mongrel and a kitten, a wacky old man patrols the alleys every day to scavenge for the treasures that children, in particular, leave behind. Meanwhile, a greedy businessman who sees trash filled with children's memories as an opportunity for a gold rush, is also at work.

This is another heartwarming encounter with Make Friends With Puppet following its well-received work The Little Snowman & Sunflower. Blending colourful puppets, a catchy original score, masks and video, the imaginative story opens the way to a child-like world of dreams. Time to embark on a treasure hunt on "Throwaway Mountain"!
