Taking place over the course of a single night, the film centres Taylor and Alex, once inseparable besties,  as they reconnect with their high school friends -- and each other -- at their annual summer reunion.  As the rest of the group gathers around the campfire to catch up, Taylor and Alex find themselves alone on the beach and  forced to confront the growing gulf between them. Despite rekindling their spark, they still question whether some friendships, like falling stars, burn brightest just before they fade from view.Torn between hanging on and letting go, Taylor and Alex discover that adulthood brings both the freedom and burden of choice. And they wonder if perhaps the greatest freedom of all is the freedom from choosing amid the vastness of the ununknowable and the unknown. What ilies beyond their control leaves them free to observe and  marvel at the unfolding, made real simply by their experiencing of it.At turns delicate and raw, Light the Stars offers a poignant and nuanced glipse into an intimate moment between two friends deeply bonded yet still drifting, unable to gage the distance between them and unsure as to how to bridge the gap.
