Move to Heaven offers a softened, perhaps even glorified, perspective. Blood, grime, waste and gore is their everyday. Their responsibilities don’t stop at the sentimental. It zeroes in on real-life trauma cleaners. Even when discussing the lives of the women whose homes and crime scenes they’re cleaning up, the article sounds…so scientific. Sarah Krasnostein, the author of a book entitled The Trauma Cleaner: One Woman's Extraordinary Life in Death, Decay & Disaster, describes the smell of death and distinguishes the difference between dry and wet squalor. In 2017, The Guardian published a piece on trauma workers. In other countries, however, trauma cleaning is a full-on career. In a country that places unparalleled importance on family ties, most cases resemble my great-grandmother’s, where the bereaved personally tidy up the deceased’s belongings. You don’t hear of trauma cleaners often, at least not in the Philippines.

Geu-ru memorizes textbooks and encyclopedias page per page, while Sang-gu is all about street smarts. Geu-ru requires organization, while the world may as well be Sang-gu’s trash can. Extremely intelligent yet befuddled by emotion, Geu-ru couldn’t be any more different from his newfound thug of an uncle. Left to pick up the pieces, Geu-ru suddenly finds himself in the care of his father’s estranged brother, Sang-gu. The end of Move to Heaven’s first episode delivers the series first wallop when Jeong-u, Geu-ru’s father, collapses in the middle of a pedestrian and ultimately passes away due to cardiac arrest. It’s a question that Geu-ru is faced with too soon. If the deceased have family left behind, a different concern clouds over them altogether: how to trudge on with one less loved one. But when they do, there's the question of whom their most important belongings-always stored in a designated yellow box-can be handed off to. Not all Move to Heaven's assignments involve someone passing away alone. A young factory worker dies alone after a machine-inflicted injury, and they’re called in to pack up his belongings. In the first episode, Geu-ru and his father Jeong-u are assigned a job. The series follows Han Geu-ru, a 20-year-old boy diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, who runs a trauma cleaning service called Move to Heaven with his father. This is one of the mysteries surrounding love, death and grieving that Netflix’s Move to Heaven tries to unravel.
