Synopsis:
Hana, a shy, introvert 16-years-old girl, is invited by Mario, a boy she is secretly in love with, to a lake trip to shoot a video about the solar eclipse. But, the next morning, Hana's father dies. Father, a former top pilot, had a chance to enter NASA program and, once he fell ill, he wished to be buried in a spacesuit. Her mother wants to cherish Father's will, yet she crumbles under the pressure of the family who wants a traditional funeral. Hana is frustrated about her mother's inability to confront the family and runs away from home. On the lake, Hana quickly grasps that Mario is not just an innocent boy, fond of her, but an aggressive predator. Hana has to fight on two fronts – at home, to stand up against the traditionalist family, and help her mother. Outside of her home, to be treated with dignity and not as a sexual object by Mario. Hana needs to outgrow herself quickly, otherwise her future will be as dark as the darkness of a solar eclipse.
