Unlike most people, Paul has found a way to escape anxiety and depression through his work. The uniqueness of this documentary stems from the fact that his job is anything but ordinary. Paul cleans for a living, specifically seeking to clean the homes of women who dominate him. On his Instagram profile, he describes his work as "Cleaning to Save My Life."
