Germany, 2020, 25′

He spies with his little eye something that is … you. Security cameras inside the cinema halls and sleeping homeless in front of the building. Jannik is film projectionist. During his shifts he sits behind the screen and observes the few visitors. He would rather be seen on the screen himself. When he interacts with people, the line between game and reality becomes blurred. And he just can’t get rid of the homeless.
