Elodie Yung was recently seen in the trailer of “The Cleaning Lady.” The trailer was released on May 18, 2021, on Youtube. 

The trailer begins by showing a flashback of Elodie Yung as the cleaning lady. The scene shifts to a marriage ceremony where a wealthy man gets attracted to Elodie, so he approaches her s*xually. 

A cleaning lady saves Elodie(Thorny) by hitting the man on his throat, and it is seen that he is choking, but Elodie manages to save him. Then we can see that Elodie has a child, and she is dealing with financial crises to feed her child. 

Later in the trailer, we can see the story unveil that she, alongside her son, Luca moved to the US for her son’s urgent bone marrow surgery. 

But the donor refused to give the bone marrow, which left her and her son to stay illegally in Sin City. Being an illegal immigrant, she could apply to a well-renowned job, so she worked as a cleaner in the hotel rooms and strip clubs. 

Her life takes a terrorizing turn when she accidentally gets in a situation where a gang kills a person, and she is caught hiding near the incident. The gang tries to kill her, but she says that she can help them clean the mess to save her life. 

After helping the gang, they appointed her as the cleaner to clean the blood and other mess, and she was awarded a ransom amount for it. 

In an interview about “The Cleaning Lady,” Elodie says, “To me, Thony is not a character, she’s a real person.”

She also says, “She’s thrown into these situations against her will and she has to find ways to make do and survive — because otherwise her life and her son’s life will be endangered.”

Yung added. “There’s this constant inner conflict with doing the right thing and, at the same time, there’s pressure because time is ticking away and she needs to find a cure for her son.”
