This powerful short depicts the day in the life of a cleaner. Although it has a very short running time, there is a lot of deep meaning when you scratch the surface. One of the main points made is that the protagonist lives her life out of sync with everyone else. When they sleep, she works; when they rise, she sleeps. The film is able to show how lonely this type of existence can be, and what people have to go through when they have a family to support. Cleaner is a great example of less being more.
