6m 15s
Tom Thomas dreams of watching the upcoming solar eclipse and together with Simka. They start building a pinhole camera from a cardboard box to watch the eclips and protect their eyesight from its harmful rays. Nolik is not excited about the eclipse at all, in fact he is in panic that it will throw the world into darkness and it will never become light again - that the moon will suddenly stop in its orbit and the end of the world will come. While Tom Thomas and Simka build the simple “camera obscura” to observe the celestial phenomenon, Nolik gathers batteries for a flashlight so they will have light after the eternal darkness takes over. The eclipse begins and Tom Thomas and Simka watch it through the camera with wonder. Nolik unfortunately hides in fear and misses the fantastic event. Tom Thomas promises Nolik he will keep the pinhole camera until the next eclipse, and in the meantime use the box it is made out of to store the batteries.
