About the film

Jara, 35, is a shy and lonely supermarket security guard. His job is to monitor the entire center on security camera screens. He works at night, nothing happens in the center and there is not much to do. So Jara does the same thing at home as she does at home - watching movies, solving crossword puzzles and listening to music. But this routine is soon shaken by Julia, the mall cleaner she sees on security camera screens. At first, Jara watches her for hours at work, then starts following her to the movies, the beach, or even dating men. His life turns into a kind of ritual, the only object of which is Julia.

"This film is not about the beginning of a relationship, but about what happens before they start. It reveals the process that every person in love goes through, realizing they have to take something. These are the moments when you have to deal with your feelings and the biggest fears, ”says director Adrián Biniez.
