The duties of an art museum security guard include: 1. Execute the rules strictly. 2. Check the facility and make sure everything is in working order. 3. Ensure the art works are not tempered with. 4. Fill in incident reports and file them properly. Facing the four walls of a gallery, pompous art works and visitors who break the rules, an old security guard falls into a hypnotic trance at times. He writes “Everything in order” on every page of the incident report routinely like his colleague. One night, a sobbing policewoman comes to search for her missing Malinois. Is the world still in order?
