A plumber spends his working days unclogging and repairing sewer drains at his customer’s apartments but also listening to their confessions and reconstructions of dire events from their lives: a middle-age woman is wasting her life caring for an old man; a young boy throws his mother’s wedding ring down the drain as a protest against his parents’ constant fighting; a teenage girl break the toilet bowl in a fight with her sexually abusive father; a young transvestite attempts suicide in the bathtub but gives up when he realizes that no one will come to his rescue..
At the same time, Ana, a woman with a bruised face leaves her apartment, roams the city streets in the night and ends up on a bridge. Burdened by the negative energy accumulated through other people’s destinies, the plumber goes back home in the evening, and enters the very same apartment that Ana abandoned earlier..
