Judy Berlin
With his ambitions recently squashed, David Gold has returned home from California to live with his
parents. On the day of a solar eclipse, David finally ventures out of the house and runs into Judy
Berlin, a former classmate who is on her way to Hollywood with dreams of becoming a star. Struck by
Judy's admission of a high school crush, David follows her to her day job at History Village, where
they pass the day together reminiscing about their childhood. In the surreal twilight of the eclipse,
David, Judy, and the other inhabitants of Babylon become "space explorers," wandering the streets in
search of comfort and companionship.
