DAYDREAMERS is a staged documentary that explores the lives of those working as private security guards in various neighborhoods, shopping centers, and cultural institutions in Buenos Aires. Accustomed to performing their duties in the strictest silence, here they raise their voices to share their stories and show us how they see life through their eyes and uniforms.
