The story revolves around Tomáš whose lonely life consists of monotonously repeating the same routine. A funeral service employee, his job is to clean death scenes or places where people and their pets have deceased. This stereotype suddenly stops when the circumstances force him to hide in one of the homes he has cleaned. Tomáš develops a habit of staying in his customers' homes and secretly spying on the lives of the bereaved from the inside; this bizarre hobby slowly turns into obsession. The situation spirals out of control when he falls in love with one of the observed and decides to unveil the secret hidden in the household of his newly-found love and her suspicious older brother. The latest motion picture by a distinct Slovak director Peter Bebjak explores problems in human communication, showing how strongly we can be affected by childhood events and how difficult it can be to come to terms with them.

An unexpectedly interesting subject for Slovakian standards, which caught my attention from the first minute and didn't let go until the very end. I absolutely succumbed to the dark atmosphere, the dynamics of the narrative, and Noël Czuczor's brilliant portrayal of the voyeur cleaner is probably going to stay in my head. I was literally fascinated by his performance in the lead role. It should be noted that Rebecca Poláková was a very good second to him. While I'm on the subject of superlatives, the tantalizingly ambiguous ending is certainly one of them. How angry and excited I was at the same time. This has probably never happened to me with any film before and thanks to that it will probably remain in my head forever. (85%)

I think this film had a lot more potential in it than what it presented here. It could have been weirder, just as some of the monitoring could have been duller to show that some people just aren't interesting. However, the film has a good - slightly expected - self-destructive direction that has a nice open ending.
