„The lowest filth!" Heiko “Schotty” Schotte is a cleaner with a very special field of work and a complicated occupational title. As a crime scene and corpse discovery cleaner, Schotty is responsible for the removal of any signs of death. When dealing with refuse, blood and corpse odours, practically nothing throws him off course. However, when carrying out his duties, Schotty often meets surviving dependants and because he’s the sociable type, he sometimes gossips more than he cleans. Schotty is cleaning an apartment's blood-stained bathroom when the doorbell rings. However, it is not the murderer who returns to the crime scene, but a prostitute who wants to visit her client. When she finds out that he was murdered, she wants to flee the apartment. Schotty manages to persuade her to stay. It almost seems as if they even have sex with each other, because both consider themselves hardened because of their jobs. In the end, they don't strip their bodies, but their souls.
