Satomi and Yasunori are filled with happy expectations for their newborn baby Orine while driving home from a maternity hospital. However, a sudden accident strikes and Orine loses her parents. Nineteen years later, Orine is on the run from the police. While she is trying to escape, Orine is contacted by Yuri Aoshima, a member of a shady organization who offers her shelter in an unmanned experimental space station. However, Orine boards the station to find that it is not as unmanned as she thought: her mother, Satomi, is waiting for her there. As Orine and Satomi make up for their lost time together, the mysteries of Satomi's true identity, Yuri's goals, and a man called "SENSEI" who aims to take over the station continue to deepen.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a delicate bridge between intimate family drama and grand sci-fi, relying on the contrast between the serene void of space and the tangled web of human motives. It explores trauma not as a past event, but as a gravitational force permanently warping the present.

What lingers after the final frame is a sense of melancholic longing for a connection that was manufactured, and the haunting question of whether a replicated past can ever heal a real wound. The quiet tension of the station becomes a character in itself. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Naoya Kurisu

Best experienced in a dark room, letting the vast silence of space on screen amplify the characters' profound isolation.
