Synopsis

Loser security guard in a shopping mall, social misfit, is approached by beautiful girl who befriends him. He becomes infatuated and doesn't realise she is the girlfriend of a gangster who wants to get his keys and security codes to rob a jewellery store. Which she does, and he is then set up and ends up in prison without betraying her. Shit hapens.

Shot with intense colours and minimalist dialogue and acting style to underline the existential angst in his life.
