Contents/Summary
- Summary
- In 2006, two Czech development experts implemented an electrification project that brought power to a school and hospital complex and light to the village of Masuku, Zambia. After four years, they return for the last time to find out about their system's failures, repair it and hand it over at last. The film follows them through both the chaotic days and the pitch black nights and provides a fresh insight into the pitfalls of humanitarian development projects. The film portrays short circuits of all sorts, the blending and dissolving of different worlds, rituals of gratitude and concepts of solutions. Making no attempt to declare or evaluate anything, Solar Eclipse becomes a situation probe examining various forms of light and darkness.
