Premise:
In a dimly lit apartment cluttered with the remnants of other people’s sins, an anonymous disposal man spends his nights erasing — files, clothes, tools, anything that needs to vanish. When a new unknown client sends a box of numbered tasks, he treats it as just another gig. But as each task grows more personal, he begins to realise he’s not cleaning up someone else’s mess, he’s being guided to erase every trace of his own existence. The job he thought was just routine becomes ritual; the cleanup becomes confession; and by the end, there’s nothing left - not even him.
