An Athenian security guard seeks to escape the crushing routine of her night shift. Playing table football or listening to love advice on the radio just doesn’t cut it, so she introduces a more intimate relationship into her life. Intensely visual work, full of surreal shots of empty meeting rooms,
shabby elevators and peeking security cameras.
