Synopsis: A recent immigrant working as a janitor struggles to adapt to his new country and menial job and shares his frustrations with his co-worker. But as the two make their cleaning rounds, they are confronted with a shocking discovery and the man realizes that happiness depends not on his station in life, but his freedom to live it.
