Experimental fiction film about a cleaning lady that works alone during the night in a fitness studio. This film looks behind the glossy surfaces of a gym and shows how the extreme working conditions affect the perception and psyche of the worker, showing the space under her surreal view, entering in nocturnal perception of the spaces. The film is about the time pressure and the high expectations that weigh on the cleaning lady. She never rested long because she suspects her bosses are watching her through surveillance cameras. Under the pressure of work and her loneliness, the character begins to imagine that the machines have a consciousness and voices that accompany them during their hard work at night. Machines that talks between them and reflect about time, wait, how to be more efficient and how to not get broken.
This project is originated from the own experience of the director Paula Abalos, who worked in parallel of her studies in a branch of a large chain Fitness studio in Germany.
