Synopsis


Marie-Christine, who lost her sight some years ago, explores life in a particularly sensory way—through her fingertips. Through her personal experience, she arouses her son’s curiosity and sense of wonder about the beauty of the universe. Drawing from a constellation of highly textured analogue images and a rich tapestry of sound, Orbits journeys into the sensorial depths of Marie-Christine’s memory, pondering the very essence of love and legacy.

A word from Tënk


A lost vision for a gaze that immerses us in the mourning of memories of the visible.

An entryway that goes beyond testimony, making room—with poetry and delicacy—for the filmmaker’s interpretation.

Music that supports intimacy without intruding.

Genetic inheritance and the role to shape with love.

A film that moves, emotions that connect us.
