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. 论影片《超市夜未眠》的剪辑手法。对现代生活的脆弱反抗。你也有消磨不掉的时光吗？。静止穿行。《凝固》。【被凝固时光下的美】。求买主。导演说（转）。体会过的离别的动情。好的欧洲文艺片~。 本（肖恩•比格斯代夫 Sean Biggerstaff 饰）是一个酷爱绘画的艺术系学生，他的脑海中总是勾勒着女人美丽的形体。然而，跟女友苏西（米歇尔•雷恩 Michelle Ryan 饰）分手的时候，本即使极力淡化也无法抹去失恋的伤痕。为了打发独处的时间，本选择应聘超市夜班职员。在这里，他可以静静地观察陌生的顾客，并由此串起了童年的美好记忆，比如那个作为交换生的瑞典女孩，那个付费看春光的邻家女孩，那个手臂打着石膏仍涂鸦的同学……慢慢地，在忙碌的工作与朋友的劝慰下，本逐渐摆脱了失恋的阴影，并开始追求那个学西班牙语的女同事莎拉（艾米丽雅•福克斯 Emilia Fox 饰）。然而，在一次为庆祝老板生日的聚会上，前女友苏西的意外现身却让他复原的伤口再度开裂，他跟莎拉的恋情是否会因此而告终呢？
