"Justine" A young couple, Justine and Michael, arrive late at their wedding reception at the family estate where Justine's sister, Claire, and her husband, John, live. On several occasions, Justine looks at a particular red star, which seems to shine brighter than normal; John identifies it as Antares.
Over the course of the evening, Justine is frustrated by various personal and professional difficulties. Her mother insults her in a toast. Justine's boss repeatedly harasses her to write ad copy. Claire becomes frustrated with Justine and chastises her for not reacting to the reception with the joy she had anticipated. Justine drifts away from the party several times. Michael attempts to console Justine with a wedding present – an apple orchard – but Justine seems unmoved. When she and Michael retreat to their room for the evening, she brushes off his advances and goes walking on the grounds, where she has sex with a coworker. At the end of the party, Michael leaves her. At dawn the next day, Claire takes Justine horseback riding; Justine notices that the red star has disappeared. watch more
