Shining a Light on the Shadows of AIDS: The Uncomfortable Truth in Wetscher's "Eklipse" As the 83rd Venice Film Festival approaches, Manuel Wetscher's feature film debut, Eklipse, is set to premiere.
The nostalgic value of the 1990s setting and alpine dairy farm backdrop brings back memories, but it's the painful familiarity of the story itself that resonates.
Eklipse is a coming of age drama about two teenagers navigating friendship and growing up, but at its core, it's a searing portrayal of the AIDS epidemic and its impact on families.
