British filmmaker
Danny Boyle offers a darkly comic glimpse of life in Britain in this short feature (shot on digital video equipment) produced for the
BBC.
Vacuuming Completely Nude in Paradise concerns
Tommy Rag (
Timothy Spall), a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman whose passion for salesmanship firmly outstrips his scruples.
Tommy's new partner on his route is
Pete (
Michael Begley), a younger man who has dreams of working in the music industry.
Pete's girlfriend, however, demands that he get a steady job, and has decided to withhold sex until
Pete starts bringing home a steady paycheck.
Tommy coaches
Pete in his ruthless and shameless sales techniques, and together they start selling an impressive number of vacuums;
Tommy thinks they may both be up for Salesman of the Year, but then
Pete has to consider what could be a better offer.
