- SynopsisPart visual monologue, part slapstick comedy. It takes the viewers into the mind of Ben, an art college student in London, who works the late-night shift at the local supermarket. What do he and his colleagues do to pass the long, endless hours of the night? Sharon, a quiet 21-year-old refuses to look at the clock, realising that will only drag out the time longer. Jenkins, the manager, spends his time leering at Sharon and lecturing Barry and Matt, two practical jokers. Ben sees himself halting the flow of time, so his artistic imagination can run wild, transforming the mundane and everyday into the beautiful and sublime. (Synopsis)
