A meditative, formally precise study of romantic disconnection and modern alienation, where two people's inability to truly connect mirrors the emptiness of consumer capitalism.

Vittoria is a beautiful literary translator living in Rome. After splitting from her writer boyfriend, Riccardo, Vittoria meets Piero, a lively stockbroker, on the hectic floor of the Roman stock exchange. Though Vittoria and Piero begin a relationship, it is not one without difficulties, and their commitment to one another is tested during an eclipse.
