    • Synopsis
    • Chile, 1990. For Celeste, 16 years old, nothing is the same. Her father has recently died and her mother has decided to sell the beach house where they all spent their summers together, and a thermoelectric power plant has just been installed in the seaside village that is polluting the whole area. To make matters worse, Celeste is hiding a pregnancy and the only support is her father’s presence, which she keeps finding in the objects and places he left behind. During a solar eclipse, Celeste will discover that when everything changes, a new possibility is always born.
