Synopsis
After Nat's tragic death from dust pollution, March sinks into mourning. But his life is turned upside down when he discovers that his wife's spirit has been reincarnated in a vacuum cleaner. Although absurd, their bond is reborn, stronger than ever - but far from unanimous. His family, already haunted by an old worker's accident, rejects this supernatural relationship. Attempting to convince them of their love, Nat offers to clean up the factory to prove she's a useful ghost, even if it means cleaning up after wandering souls...
