Timide et solitaire gardien dans une grande surface en périphérie de Montevideo, Jara gère la surveillance de tout le bâtiment. Depuis qu’il travaille de nuit, il est assez désœuvré face au calme qui règne dans le lieu. De sorte qu’il se livre, la majeure partie du temps, aux mêmes activités que chez lui : regarder des vidéos, faire des mots croisés et écouter de la musique.

Mais bientôt, il commence à la suivre après le travail, lorsqu’elle se rend au cinéma, à la plage et même à un rendez-vous avec un autre homme.
