Winner of Best Film, Best Screenplay and Audience Choice awards in QCinema International Film Festival, “Cleaners” is a truly original film that manages to combine pointy social comments with a unique, stop-motion presentation.
The story unfolds in 2007-2008 and is actually an anthology revolving around 5 different high school classmates in a Catholic school in Tuguegarao City, who are also classroom cleaners. Stephanie has trouble focusing on her lessons and is unwilling to deal with the school garden project their teacher has tasked them. Instead, she wants to join the dance group of the school. However, when she finally manages to, disaster hits her quite hard, in a series of events that eventually result in catharsis (pun intended).
Angeli, the class president struggles to persuade the Emo Boys (three of her classmates actually) to do a folk dance number for National Language Month. When “tragedy” strikes once again, their mentality changes.
