Shy supermarket security guard Jara (Horacio Camandule) becomes transfixed by Julia (Leonor Svarcas), a cleaning woman he spots through a surveillance camera. Soon, his life turns into a series of rituals and routines as he becomes obsessed with watching her. In this drama about isolation and loneliness from director Adrián Biniez, Jara designs his life around Julia's schedule, following her to the movies, the beach -- even on dates with another man. Will he ever drum up the courage to approach her?
