A reserved teenager, Hana, has been invited by her crush, Balsa, to go to a lake with him to film a solar eclipse. On the morning of their planned trip, however, Hana’s father, a top-notch pilot, dies. In his will, Hana’s father requests that he be buried in a space suit. Frustrated by her mother’s inability to stand up to the rest of the family, who want to give her father a traditional funeral, Hana runs away from home and goes to the lake, where she comes to realise that Balsa is an aggressive predator. Hana must suppress her considerate and obedient nature or her destiny will be as dark as the solar eclipse.
