Eclipse of a Relationship

A relationship between two men is falling apart, and one of them decides the solution is to take control. He starts telling his boyfriend exactly what to do, including inviting a third man into their relationship. Instead of saving what they have, the arrangement only hastens the end, as jealousy, curiosity and resignation take the place of the feelings that once held them together. Directed by Italian filmmaker Nino Zeno, Eclipse of a Relationship is a nine-minute drama-romance starring Fabio Cavalera, Roberto Gobbi and Jacopo Roati. Carefully composed and restrained, the short watches intimacy fade without judging any of the three men, treating the end of love not as a sudden break but as a slow eclipse, where the light dims so gradually that no one can say exactly when it went out.
