Set in a parallel universe, Comet bounces back and forth over the course of an unlikely but perfectly paired couple's six-year relationship.

Justin Long and Emmy Rossum are star-crossed lovers whose relationship blooms and unravels over the course of six years in this mysterious, dazzlingly original romance. When a chance encounter brings together the cynical Dell (Long) and the quick-witted Kimberly (Rossum), the stage is set for a tempestuous love affair that unfolds like a puzzle. As the film zigzags back and forth in time-from a meteor shower in LA, to an encounter in a Paris hotel room, to a fateful phone call-an unforgettable portrait of a relationship emerges. Sumptuously shot and boasting incredible chemistry between the leads, Comet is a one-of-a-kind cosmic love story.—IFC Films

Convinced that she deserves better, Dell--a neurotic, pessimistic, love-smitten cynic--tries to make a move on cute Kimberly while waiting in line to see a meteor shower. Through glimpses of parallel universes, Kimberly and Dell unfold their six-year, on-again, off-again affair, sharing memories of five pivotal points in their relationship. And, as they navigate the bittersweet recollections of fascinating chance encounters, fateful Parisian nights and other key stages, more and more, the cosmic mystery of their passionate but complicated romance begins to unravel.—Nick Riganas
