Total Eclipse is a journey of cinematic inspiration through the feelings aroused by the sense of abandonment. The protagonists are two women, human beings and yet heroines, who find themselves immersed in the ancestral darkness of the fractures of contemporary relationships.
The concept of rupture is frequent, emotional, sentimental, personal as much as universal. On a human being it performs a kind of fracture, a tear, out of which a new skin, a new vision is generated. The cycle is reiterated and one starts again. A temporary emptying, the crowning of an epilogue, a clear stress on the brutal detachment. We come after generations that were ready to leave everything behind: homes, loved ones, origins, seeds, roots; we are learning the ropes.We are searching for the exaltation of an ending. We are at that thin line between an imaginary vision and harsh reality. We are ready.
