Director: Pablo Baur
The main character of this documentary is a janitor in an office building in downtown Barcelona. Antonio the janitor is a meticulous and orderly person who
carries out his chores in solitude. Day after day, he cleans, mops the floor, and sorts the mail with matchless method and rhythm. He uses a paintbrush to clean small gaps; he wears a suit and a tie and a doorman’s glove on his left hand. As the film moves forward, the director departs from the shown structure and explains the reason why he decided to film the janitor.
