From the producers of Little Miss Sunshine, Sunshine Cleaning is a poignant, bitter-sweet family film about respect, love and clearing up body parts.

The story revolves around once high school cheerleading captain, Rose Lorkowski (Amy Adams - Doubt) who now finds herself a thirty something single mother working as a maid. Her sister Norah (Emily Blunt – The Devil Wears Prada) is still living at home with their dad Joe (Alan Arkin- Little Miss Sunshine), a salesman with a lifelong history of ill-fated get rich quick schemes. Desperate to get her son into a better school, Rose persuades Norah to go into the crime scene clean-up business to make some quick cash. In no time, the girls are up to their elbows in murders, suicides, and other... specialised situations.
