A Useful Ghost

March and Nat are a happily married couple in their mid-30s, with Dot, their 7-year-old son. March runs the family-owned vacuum-cleaner-manufacturing factory. One day, Nat dies of respiratory disease caused by air pollution. Saddened by the death of his wife, March is worried that the same fate would fall upon his son, who gradually develops similar symptoms. Concerned with her son’s health, Nat returns as a ghost haunting the vacuum cleaner at the house. While everyone is afraid of her as the possessed vacuum cleaner, only her husband sees this as the chance to reunite the family. Nat-ghost tries desperately to get rid of dust in the house until she realizes that apart from these unwanted small particles the family is also stained by other things: the ghosts of dead laborers that had died at the family’s factory.
