 An episodic look at ten characters in Toronto, during the week leading up to a solar eclipse. The pending eclipse brings something to the air: perhaps fear of abandonment, perhaps ambiguity. Each of the ten has two sexual encounters, usually one with someone familiar (a mistress, an ex-lover, a husband) and one with a stranger. Sometimes these encounters bring tears or other strong emotions. For a few, the sex precedes the telling of their life story or an examination of who they are. From time to time, a professor, a person in the street, or a Japanese tourist comments on the meaning of a total eclipse.
