Vacuuming Completely Nude in Paradise

Pete provides the soundtrack as Sheila performs a stripogram at Throat's retirement party. The mood sours when Throat dies during the celebration, leaving Pete in shock and suddenly in demand to fill his role. The company quickly pairs him with a new operative to drive sales.

Pete is paired with Tommy Rag, a ruthlessly ambitious high-earner who embodies the core sales culture. The arrangement is cold, clinical, and driven by one more contract at any cost. Pete senses the growing pressure and doubts his own path.

Sheila sets a hard boundary: no sex until Pete makes his first sale. The demand compounds the tension between Pete's romance and the relentless push for success. The personal price of the job begins to weigh on their fragile relationship.

Pete challenges Tommy to prove he can close a deal on his own, dropping him in a dilapidated neighborhood to target a single mother of four. The sale would mark a major milestone for his career and the company's ruthless standards. The assignment reveals the ethical lines the men are willing to cross.

Pete returns home to find Sheila's appetite and expectation, and he cannot condone what he witnessed. He tears up the contract and hands the mother some money to help through the week. In the heat of the moment he is knocked down and robbed on the street, leaving him bruised and shaken.

Back home, Sheila coldly labels Pete a loser, and the couple's stability begins to fracture. The pressure from the sales world has started to erode their relationship. The emotional cost of ambition becomes painfully clear.

Pete asks an elderly neighbor about Sheila and discovers her corpse among piles of old newspapers. A candle topple causes a small blaze, sending smoke and confusion through the scene. Tommy waits outside, wary and unflinching.

While waiting on hold with the police, Tommy dreams of Uki leading him through a computer-screen portal to a tropical beach where a gold vacuum awaits. He emerges naked and crying with joy, a seductive vision of success. The dream foreshadows his hunger for control and status.

Tommy climbs the stairs to seduce the buyer known as Spaniard, while Pete becomes entangled with Spaniard's lonely daughter. The sale goes through, but the double assault on boundaries and consent unsettles both men. De Kid, a hitchhiking DJ, enters their orbit and challenges the moral line they’re willing to cross.

Contracts arrive at the office as the crew heads toward a prize ceremony at the Metropole Hotel in Blackpool. Uki reveals a secret relationship with the boss, exposing the competition as a test of loyalty and power. Pockmark is named the victor while Throat is remembered in second.

Tommy storms into the women's restroom to demand answers, and Stonecheeks confirms that this will be the last competition with a looming shift to online sales. The boss's plans threaten the livelihoods of many traditional salesmen. Tommy learns he was one sale short of beating Pockmark, intensifying his fury.

In a climactic act, Tommy cuts the DJ's equipment, turning the crowd against Pete. The mentally handicapped girl intervenes with a whip to protect Pete, while Tommy is fired. Pete seizes a last surge of crowd energy, spinning the DJ booth to win the moment as Tommy staggers toward the sea. The vacuum is hurled into the waves, an eviction from the world built on others' suffering.

Tommy's pursuit ends in ruin as he collapses on the shore after throwing the vacuum away. Spaniard's pursuit ends in tragedy, revealing the system's casualties. The final refrain, 'silence is loud,' underscores the hollowness of relentless ambition.
