Synopsis

Twenty-eight-year-old insomniac Camilo works the night shift at a twenty-four-hour video store. He still receives a monthly allowance from his parents and has no goals or plans for the future. He whiles away his days loafing and buying records for his collection. When his girlfriend, a successful publicist, asks for a week-long break, his whole world falls apart. Tired of Camilo's apathy, Pola wants some time off to reflect on their relationship. Camilo has no idea what to do. Not even the terse but valuable advice from his best friend Gus is any help. Then, as if by magic, sixteen-year-old Mikela appears in his life. She is just the kick Camilo needs to jolt him out of his complacency.
