Orbit

In the aftermath of Chile’s 1973 military coup, Clea’s family is scattered across continents—her mother seeking refuge in Costa Rica, her uncle building a life in Germany—yet the wounds of exile linger, shadowing their lives. Decades later, an unexpected call from a cousin in Germany compels Clea to return to Chile, unearthing long-buried scars of displacement and trauma. Orbit is an evocative meditation on identity, the enduring effects of political upheaval on family bonds, and the silent, intergenerational reverberations of exile.
