Summary Cashback (2004)

Ben is an art college student in London, whose imagination runs wild as he works the late-night shift at the local supermarket. What do he and his colleagues do to pass the long, endless hours of the night?

Ben Willis is an art student who works the night shift several times a week at the Whitechapel Sainsbury's. He's clear about the arrangement: he trades his time for money - cashback, as he calls it. We meet his co-workers, Sharon, Barry, and Matt, and their supervisor, Jenkins. Ben's colleagues are good at wasting time, but Ben talks to us about how he makes his shift go faster: by imagining that time has stopped. We see this late-night world of drudgery through Ben's eyes, as time does indeed stop, and he can get out his sketch book.

Wrestling with insomnia, art student, Ben Willis, decides to trade the extra hours of sleeplessness for cash, working the graveyard shift at Sainsbury's. Amid a motley crew of bored colleagues, all experts in killing time, heartbroken Ben puts his vigorous imagination, and his extraordinary, time-bending ability to good use, exploring the beauty of the female form. But, this is a frozen, lonely, and sad world. Has love just passed Ben by?
