Oh Maker, Let Me Die

For those in search of eternal life, Plastic Bag, a short film by American director Ramin Bahrani, enticingly narrated by Werner Herzog, will make you pause. For those on a fruitless quest to find your Maker, you will find solace. For those who believe in the Vortex, all will be revealed. For those about to do a little Wednesday afternoon grocery shopping, maybe you should think about cloth.

The film traces the epic, existential journey of a plastic bag searching for its lost maker, the woman who took it home from the store and eventually discarded it. Along the way, it encounters strange creatures, experiences love in the sky, grieves the loss of its beloved maker, and tries to grasp its purpose in the world.
