GIGANTE
synopsis
Jara, who is 35, is a shy and lonely man who works in a suburb of Monte - video as supermarket security guard. He doesn’t have a great deal to do because he works the graveyard shift when the store is like a ghost town. This gives him plenty of time to pursue his favourite pastimes: watching videos, doing crossword puzzles or listening to music. And so his life continues – until one day Julia enters his field of vision. Julia, who is 25, works at the supermarket as a cleaner. At first he spends hour after hour in front of the security monitors watching her work. But, before long, he begins to follow her after work: his whole life gradually begins to revolve around Julia’s daily routine.
