In the Peruvian apocalyptic film EL LIMPIADOR (THE CLEANER), Eusebio’s job as a forensic cleaner is to sterilize the places where people die. Quiet and set in his ways, he ends up incredibly busy as a flulike disease spreads through the City of Lima. Then one day he discovers an eight-year-old boy orphaned by the disease and still living in one of the houses he’s cleaning, and struggles to find a way to either get the boy to a home or care for him himself while the city slowly falls apart.
