“It was about power. For me, it was a way of taking that power back. Secretly.”

Trailer

Full film available for professional preview on request.

Orbit brings together the voices of women of different ages speaking about infidelity and its consequences. The black-and-white images do not illustrate their accounts. The camera stays so close to skin, veins, folds, and hair that the body is at times hard to recognise.

The women are never shown as portraits, and their accounts are left contradictory. They describe how betrayal is remembered, explained, and carried within a relationship, and the film does not cast them as either victims or perpetrators.
