Synopsis
Jara is a shy, but intimidating and large guard at a supermarket who falls for Julia, one of the cleaning crew. He passes hours watching her on the security monitors. Soon he begins to follow her after work, to the movies, the beach, even on a date with another man. But as his life becomes consumed with a woman he hasn't even spoken to, Jara realizes he must either give up his obsession or find the courage to approach her.
