About

“The first thing I saw was a chair, all stained with dried up blood, on the floor between cockroaches I saw the remnants of detached, human skin. Everything had to be disinfected, but firstly I ought to empty the entire apartment to zero. ”

The main protagonist of the film is an IKEA employee, who also works a second time in a cleaning company cleaning after dead bodies, to earn financially for finishing a new flat. The hero loops in the ritual of work selling kitchen arrangements, emptying and cleaning other people’s apartments and finishing his own. The film presents a few key days in the life of the protagonist in a cool and raw way.
