- Synopsis
- Abraham and Shraga, two Orthodox Jewish twins, live in the house they inherited in New York. Since their parents died about 10 years ago they have been accumulating garbage and various objects in a kind of misunderstood diogenes syndrome. Faced with this situation of neglect, the tenant above threatens to stop paying the rent until the twins do not agree to perform a radical cleaning of their apartment. Without jobs and the possibility of losing their only source of income and consequently the house, Abraham and Shraga have no choice but to open their doors to a specialized cleaning company. The process becomes an invasion of privacy and privacy against which the twins are forced to fight to preserve their memories; also to grow, despite their advanced age, to end up discovering a new way of facing their lives.
