This feature-length documentary is a portrait of eclipse chasers, people for whom solar eclipses - among nature's more spectacular phenomena – are a veritable obsession. The film follows 4 of them as they travel incredible distances to witness the last total eclipse of the millennium as it sweeps eastward across Europe to India. At various points along the way enthusiasts Alain Cirou in France, Paul Houde in Austria, Olivier Staiger in Germany and Debasis Sarkar in India offer their impressions of the historic event.

A Short Film by Jean Marc Larivière

Like a photo album long forgotten in an abandoned house, words and images gently recall, as if by osmosis, the outbursts of hope and distress of three women facing a disintegrating world. Also remember the silence of the one who said "Listen", then who was silent, never said anything again.
