A soldier yearns for the solace of home while a woman returns to find none. Eclipse is an existential interlude where two lives entwine in the quiet of a moment, amidst the chaos of modern-day Istanbul.
Eclipse, the 3rd place winner of the short films category at the Koycegiz National Film Festival (Turkey) in 2003 had also been screened at the Flying Broom Film Festival in Ankara (Turkey).
