It is a short film that takes place in a full-scale model of a bathroom, a recreated copy from a dissertation from 1985. At that time, a female architect investigated how it was possible to build a bathroom that was easier to clean. The researcher started from her own experiences as a parent of small children and the frustration with all the time it took to clean. The research project was conducted with subjects cleaning a test bathroom. The thesis was then ridiculed in the media, questioning whether cleaning could be a topic worth researching, but her results then led to the construction industry changing the Swedish standard for bathrooms. In the film, a cleaning choreography with dancers is shown and their movements are based on the photographs of cleaning from the test subjects that are in the dissertation.
