Jara, who is 35, is a shy and lonely man who works in a suburb of Montevideo as supermarket security guard. It's his job to keep an eye on the security cameras installed throughout the building. He doesn't have a great deal to do because he works the graveyard shift when the store is like a ghost town. This gives him plenty of time to pursue his favourite pastimes: watching videos, doing crossword puzzles or listening to music. And so his life continues - until one day Julia enters his field of vision. Julia, who is 25, works at the supermarket as a cleaner. Jara immediately feels a strong attraction towards her. At first he spends hour after hour in front of the security monitors watching her work. But, before long, he begins to follow her after work: when she goes to the cinema, to the beach and even when she meets another man. His whole life gradually begins to revolve around Julia's daily routine...
