The Eclipse

Irish drama about Michael (Ciarán Hinds, There Will Be Blood), a teacher raising his two kids alone since his wife died two years earlier.

Lately, Michael has been seeing and hearing strange things at night - not sure if they are nightmares or evidence of a haunting. The seaside town where he lives is hosting an international literary festival, and he is assigned the attractive Lena Morelle (Iben Hjejle), an author of books about ghosts and the supernatural, to look after.

The pair bond and Michael finds someone willing to accept what has been happening to him. However, Lena's attention is pulled elsewhere – she has come to the festival at the bidding of world-renowned novelist Nicholas Holden (Aidan Quinn), with whom she has had an affair with. As the festival progresses, the trajectories of these three people draw them into a life-altering collision, embellished by the supernatural.
