A minimalist observational documentary with long static shots. It offers a fascinating, almost meditative reflection on the many ways we try to eliminate dirt, dust, impurity, and disorder from our lives and surroundings. The associative montage creates a strange world of images of (mental) hygiene, sacred rituals and stereotypes, decontamination in the army and cleaning ladies in churches... The camera allows us to see what our unfocused eyes simply cannot notice, even though it is all around us: constant cleaning and polishing in the name of keeping the world as we know it and as we are accustomed to it.

The film was partially shot in Slovakia.
