Rob Schmadtke and his lady friend's affection towards corpses makes him to work for  "Joe's Cleaning Agency", a company that removes bodies from public areas. He can satisfy sexual desire using the corpses acquired through this job. An extremely sick, disturbing, sordid, mad also anti-social movie, which nails in to viewers eyes, entangled scenes of necrophilia, love making with a decayed corpse, bathing in a tub filled with blood and fluids from corpses.
Apart from the perversion of a maniac, the film is forcing to reject so called  social beliefs (may be good/bad) by loving corpses sexual intercourse with them and even he feels nauseating in the presence of a living body. Throughout the film we can see a complete absence of fact "sex as a meaningful biological process of construction a future generation". Showing sex as a mechanical activity (like fixing an iron rod as penis for corpse) rejecting the physical sexual purity is also an interesting side of this subject. Life made him a murderer and finally he enjoys ultimate orgasm through the progression of death. ("For each man who regards it with awe, the corpse is the image of his own destiny. It bears witness to a violence which destroys not one man alone but all men in the end." -- Georges Bataille- from Buttgereit's official website)
In this movie Director didn't have any intention to create fear in viewers by adding gory music but he used romantic, pleasant back ground scores which makes it more strange.
