When Night Is Falling (1995)

[Pascale Bussières, Rachael Crawford, Henry Czerny, David Cox]

Camille is a mythology lecturer at a conservative Christian college. She's engaged to be married and is on the path to a stable career, but when her dog dies, Camille finds her life unraveling. At a low ebb, she crosses paths with fiery circus performer Petra in a laundromat, and sparks fly. With Petra pursuing her ardently, Camille must confront the daunting prospect of changing her entire existence.

At 17:09, Camille gets the courage to visit Petra at the circus site, and as she enters, Jonathan Seglins and Carl Schenk juggle torches, with one on tall stilts and the other on a tall unicycle. This lends an air of mystery and danger to the scene.

At 19:42, Camille finds Petra working on a "juggling" routine, in which her shadow is seen on a screen as she pretends to juggle spotlights. Unfortunately the spotlight operator only has two hands so she can only operate two spotlights.
