In another flashback, the young Ben and his best friend Sean share Sean's discovery of his parents' adult magazines, and Sean pays a neighborhood girl called Natalie fifty pence to show him her vulva. He explains how he always has been impressed by the beauty of the female body: how he, as a young boy, witnessed a Swedish boarder walk naked from the shower to her room. Finally the ability to stop time becomes real.Ī series of flashbacks occur with each progression of the plot, accompanied by Ben's narration and an examination of the effect the situation had had upon him. He imagines female patrons of the supermarket stopped in time, allowing him to undress and draw them. In particular, he imagines that he can stop time so that he can walk around in a world that is "frozen" like the pause of a film. As his personal means to escape the boredom inherent in the night shift, Ben lets his imagination run wild. Among them is his colleague Sharon, with whom he soon develops a mutual crush. To take his mind off Suzy and to occupy the extra waking hours he has recently gained, Ben begins working at a local Sainsbury's supermarket, where he meets colorful co-workers. After a painful breakup with his girlfriend Suzy, art student Ben Willis develops insomnia.
