The camera accompanies the glass cleaners on workshop windows, small and large shop windows, glass-clad house facades, balconies, office buildings and on the roofs of high-rise buildings. The viewer experiences everyday life in various professional areas and recognizes the little idiosyncrasies of the people portrayed.
