Sunshine Cleaning

In a modest suburb where everyday chores hide the weight of unspoken hardships, Rose Lorkowski lives a routine of scrubbing floors and juggling single‑parent life. Her world is quietly lit by the hum of vacuum cleaners and the soft clatter of children’s toys, a backdrop that feels both comforting and confining. When her free‑spirited sister, Norah, drifts back into her life after a string of dead‑end jobs, the two women find themselves at a crossroads between the familiar monotony of domestic work and an unexpected, unconventional opportunity.

The sisters stumble upon a niche that lies at the periphery of ordinary cleaning—a line of work that deals with the aftermath of life’s messier moments. With guidance from a seasoned police officer, Mac, who offers a glimpse into this hidden trade, they consider turning the obscure service into a modest enterprise. The tone balances gritty realism with subtle humor, capturing the awkward learning curve of handling equipment they never imagined using and the odd camaraderie that forms among strangers bound by a shared, if uncomfortable, purpose.

As they tentatively step into this new profession, the film explores the evolving dynamic between Rose and Norah, juxtaposing their contrasting personalities—one grounded and resilient, the other whimsical and restless. Their partnership becomes a quiet study in sisterhood, hope, and the search for meaning beyond the walls of their kitchen. The atmosphere is warm yet tinged with uncertainty, inviting viewers to wonder how these two women will navigate the strange territory they’ve entered, and what both the work and their renewed bond might ultimately reveal about resilience and redemption.
