10 min. 3 F. It's April 1997, and Andrea, Cass, and Lea have driven out to a remote field to obtain ideal viewing conditions for Comet Hale-Bopp. Lea, who was along last year for Andrea's previous, less than successful comet-viewing expedition, wants to minimize the time they spend out in the cold. Andrea, who hopes the sight of the spectacular comet will help to comfort Cass for her mother’s recent death, wants them to stay till they find it. Their dispute over whether to stay or go compels them to face a number of uncomfortable questions, from what motivated the Heaven’s Gate suicides, to how far it is possible to lessen, or even grasp, another person’s grief.
