Here there is a kind of seamless intercutting of scenes, scenery, flashbacks, reality and fantasy that all melt together fluently as the director navigates through Ben's life and thoughts. It also includes freezing time and undressing women (Ben finds great source of interest in the female form), arguably the film's most intense sequences. This includes the unspeakable beauty in a spilled bag of green peas on aisle four. As an art student, he learns to find the beauty in still images every second of the day.

Ben's art is that he imagines himself stopping time. There he meets a colorful cast of characters, all of whom have their own 'art' in dealing with the boredom of an eight-hour-shift. To pass the long hours of the night, he starts working the late night shift at the local supermarket. When art student Ben Willis breaks up with his girlfriend Suzy, he develops chronic insomnia after finding out how quickly she moved on.
