When art student Ben is dumped by Suzy, he develops insomnia, and starts working the night shift at a supermarket. There he meets colorful characters, who all deal differently with the boredom. Ben imagines he can stop time, appreciating the beauty of the frozen world, and especially cashier Sharon.

A supermarket-set rom-com that has become an underground cult classic, this is a farcical sex comedy with both a bizarro freeze-frame premise and sequences of remarkable technical achievement. A breakthrough film for Sean Ellis, released 9 years prior to his Philippines-set Metro Manila.
