A diverse crowd of shop goers at the mall parking lot shares what have ended up in them trunks after the weekly shopping. Item after item this collective shopping list becomes a meditative flow of things and evokes peculiar nostalgic feeling. Both an urge to set roots deep in life and curiosity to experience it beyond the mundane starts to unveil behind the necessities satisfying day-to-day life. Oddly, this short doc should reflects buying in terms of existentialism, not consumerism.
