SYNOPSIS Jara is a shy and lonely 35 year-old man who works as a supermarket security guard in a suburb of Montevideo. It’s his job to keep an eye on the security cameras installed throughout the building, but he doesn’t have a great deal to do because he works the graveyard shift when the store is like a ghost town. And so his life continues—until one day Jara discovers Julia, a 25-year-old cleaning woman, through one of the cameras and is immediately attracted to her. At first he spends hour after hour in front of the security monitors watching her, but, before long, he begins to follow her after work: to the cinema, the beach and even on a date with another man. Jara’s life becomes a series of routines and rituals around Julia, but eventually he finds himself at a crossroad and must decide whether to give up his obsession or confront it.
