Synopsis
The bubble gum normally doesn't get much attention, and if it does - it's not perceived as something well-mannered. It's a guilty pleasure, a secret kept underneath school desks and office chairs, behind the ears and inside the teeth holes. The Gum is an outcast, constantly neglected and forced to fit into circumstances. Until the random acquaintance with another rejected soul mate, a plastic bag, makes him dream of something bigger.
