A sweet, quirky lesson on the timeless magic of love. When art student Ben Willis gets dumped by his girlfriend, he develops insomnia. To pass the long nights, he goes to work at the local supermarket, in effect getting cash back for his extra waking hours. There he meets a crew of colorful characters, each with his or her own way of handling the boredom of working at night. Ben does it by imagining himself able to stop time, and thus linger between seconds to appreciate and capture on drawing paper the artistic beauty of the frozen world and the people in it. His favorite model is Sharon, the quiet checkout girl in whose company he discovers true love. British.
