NIGHT-TIME
Dir. Rodrigo Santamaría

Sinopsis
Jaime, a man with a humble background and a dark past, works the night shift as a doorman in a high-rise building for the wealthy. While collecting trash, he overhears Cristina, his neighbor from the third floor, engaged in a heated argument with her husband. Brushing it off as routine, Jaime continues his duties.
Later that same rainy night, Jaime is taken aback when he encounters Cristina in the building’s lobby. She claims to be fetching a coat from the dry cleaners, yet she’s without an umbrella despite the downpour, and it’s too late for any such establishment to be open. Adding to Jaime’s unease, Cristina begins asking him personal questions and invites him up to her apartment for no apparent reason, a first-time occurrence.
Jaime’s suspicions deepen as Cristina’s bizarre behavior escalates, especially when she lies about her husband being away on a business trip despite Jaime having heard him inside their home earlier. Jaime is left wondering: What does she want from him exactly? Why the insistence on him going up to her apartment?
