* FreudianTrio: Superego: Leo— He’s sensitive and caring but, very logical in his reasoning towards other people. However he's not so much emotionless but, very "blind" to others (Gi's and his mother’s) emotions sometimes coming off as insensitive. Often due to the fact he can't see what his friends can, missing details that happen around him.Id: Gi— Protective and not afraid to speak her mind. Most of the Inter friendship-conflict is driven by her being Jealous of both Leo and Gabriel and choosing to ignore them.Ego: Gabriel — Tells Gi not to bottle her feelings up and helps Leo to be more at peace with himself and his other classmates.

Tweaked summary last little bit and rewrote the Coming Of Age entry to include the word orbit, in keeping with the sun / eclipse theme that features heavily in the movie


Leonardo is a blind teenager whose life isn't without troubles - he's bullied at school, has to deal with his overprotective mother, and then there's the fact he's not even had his FirstKiss yet...luckily his best friend Giovana is always there to help.

In a bid to become more independent, Leo considers signing up for an exchange program abroad, but the arrival of a Main/NewTransferStudent leads him to develop feelings he's never felt before, and throws his life-long friendship with Giovana into complete disarray.
