REMOVAL Breakthrough

Cole is a likeable, regular guy. Except that ever since he witnessed a gruesome murder-suicide, things haven’t been quite right. His wife left him, he is tormented by hallucinations and his career has nosedived into a blue-collar job with a carpet cleaning service. Just when it seems his life has reached bottom, Cole is called out on on all-night cleaning job in on Italianate mansion for from the city. For company he has Henry, the rich, condescending homeowner who seems to take sadistic pleasure in letting Cole believe he has just murdered his wife . A reddish stain on the carpet, a knife hacking into baked rabbit, a cell phone that won’t stop ringing – does it odd up to murder or is Cole losing his lost handhold on his fragile sanity? Kinetic camerawork and a playfully ominous sound design ensure that this hair-raising black comedy will keep us guessing until the very last shot.
